Project Overview

Acquos, is a leading polymer manufacturer in Campbellfield, Victoria. The company sought necessary approvals from the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) for their existing plant. Their goal was to achieve the necessary environmental approvals and expand operations. This involved a thorough understanding of Acquos’ operations, potential environmental risks, and relevant EPA regulations.

The Challenge

Acquos required a complex and thorough environmental assessment of the facility to ensure compliance with environmental guidelines. Acquos needed to demonstrate that air emissions, noise and wastewater at the site did not have an unacceptable impact on the environment and human health. Once assessments were completed, Acquos could apply for a Development Licence Application to demonstrate their commitment to environmental management.

The Solution

  • Coordinating comprehensive Environmental Impact Assessments for the expanded operations focusing on air quality, odour and noise.
  • Obtaining a Development Licence and amendment that allowed for increased capacity at the Campbellfield site.
  • Project Management involved coordinating all aspects of the EPA Development Licence application process and technical assessments.
  • Stakeholder engagement SPM was the key point of contact between Acquos and Environment Protection Authority (EPA) facilitating communication and addressing any queries or concerns raised by the regulator.
