Site Environmental Management Plans (SEMP / EMP)

Overview

A Site Environmental Management Plan (SEMP) outlines the strategies, procedures, and controls required to manage environmental impacts during construction. Many councils, builders, and project managers require an EMP/SEMP to ensure that construction activities protect local waterways, prevent soil erosion, manage waste responsibly, and reduce disturbance to surrounding properties.

We prepare clear, fully compliant SEMP/EMP documents tailored to your project so you can obtain planning approval, contractor compliance, and efficient on-site execution.

Purpose of a Site Environmental Management Plan

A SEMP ensures that project activities:

• Minimise environmental disturbance during construction

• Prevent sediment and pollutants from entering stormwater systems

• Manage noise, dust, vibration, and waste disposal responsibly

• Protect existing vegetation, habitats, and public areas

• Ensure legal compliance with council and EPA regulations

Our plans are practical and easy for site teams to follow — not overly technical or difficult to implement.
