Our performance measures and targets
To monitor our progress in achieving the outcomes we want to see, we’ve established performance measures and targets. We’ll continue to improve these measures and targets over time.

Notes: 1. Maximum concentration standards are defined in the National Environmental Protection (Ambient Air Quality) Measure. Measured by EPA’s general condition monitors and local condition monitors and excludes incident air monitors which are set up to respond to a major pollution event. 2. Based on measurements undertaken at 36 monitoring sites in Port Phillip Bay in ‘dry weather’. Long-term microbial water quality standards are defined in the Environmental Reference Standard and are for primary contact recreation.
3. Measured by assessment of notifications received by EPA from a person in control or management of ‘notifiable contaminated land’ as defined in Part 2.1 of the Environment Protection Regulations 2021. High risk means CLARA Triage Score Category 5 or 6. Active Management means have appropriate management and/or regulatory controls in place. 4. Based on remedial notices issued following an EPA inspection of a site. Remedial notices issued for non-compliance with the general environmental duty, unreasonable and aggravated noise provisions in the Environment Protection Act 2017 .
5. Based on a three-year rolling average of the proportion of pollution reports received by EPA that are categorised as Priority 3 (planned response), Priority 4 (field response with 24 hours) or Priority 5 (immediate response) triage categories. 6. Based on assessments undertaken by EPA authorised officers. Permissioned business means sole trader or company issued a license or permit by EPA. 7. Measured by The RepTrak Company sentiment survey where respondents that are aware of EPA reported a high level of knowledge of the general environmental duty.
8. Measured by The RepTrak Company sentiment survey where respondents were familiar with EPA at a level beyond name recognition. 9. Measured by The RepTrak Company sentiment survey where respondents that are aware of EPA strongly agree (score 6 or 7) with the statement ‘EPA is an organisation I trust’. 10. Citations in scientific publications over a five year period as measured by Google Scholar.
