Welcome to the Environment Protection Authority (TAS).
The EPA is an integral part of Tasmania's Resource Management and Planning System. Its jurisdiction includes environmental management and pollution control matters deriving from the Environmental Management and Pollution Control Act 1994.
The EPA is governed by an independent Board and Director. Both the Chairperson and Director exercise powers at arm's length from State Government and have independent statutory powers under the Act.
The EPA in Tasmania will be supported by the Environment Division of the Department of Environment, Parks, Heritage and the Arts.
