(1) What percentage of projects are audited for compliance with environmental conditions?
(2) Why doesn’t the Agency expect and demand that a higher percentage of projects, meet all of their environmental conditions?

1 I have been advised by the Office of the Environmental Protection Authority that approximately 12% of current Ministerial approvals were audited during the 2009/2010 financial year.
2 I expect compliance to be achieved with all implementation conditions of Ministerial approvals. The Office of the Environmental Protection Authority has a compliance program in place to improve the level of compliance with Ministerial approvals, and expects any non-compliances to be reported and addressed.
