Illegal earthworks/ filling
Illegal clearing and tree removal
Environmental management of construction sites

Standard media releases
Information for inclusion on council websites
Template letters to target audience
Posters, advertisements, brochures and other promotional materials
Monitoring and evaluation plans

In addition to providing training, resource kits, case studies and campaign guideance, a number of regional media opportunities are being coordinated, which promote environmental compliance issues to the general community.

Councils interested in conducting a campaign on an environmental compliance issues should contact HCCREMS for assistance.
