TAFE NSW Pesticide notification plans
TAFE NSW has developed Pesticide Use Notification Plans for each of its regions. These Plans describes how we will notify staff, students and the public when pesticides are used on the grounds of TAFE NSW sites throughout NSW.
Review of Environmental Factors reports
A Review of Environmental Factors (REF) is an assessment used to determine the impacts of an activity undertaken by a public authority. It examines the potential impacts of the activity on the environment and aims to minimise those impacts.
TAFE NSW prepares REF assessments in accordance with Part 5 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act (1979).
Environmental Planning Regulations require environmental assessment documentation to be publicly available for projects that:
- Have a Capital Investment Value greater than $5 million.
- Require certain permits, including permits from the Department of Primary Industries (Fisheries), Heritage NSW, National Parks and Wildlife Service and/or Environmental Protection Authority.
- Are considered in the community interest.
