What is Best Management Practice?
Best practice is the management of an activity to ensure environmental harm is minimised using cost-effective measures. These practices are assessed against national and international standards. The booklet Best Practice Guidelines for the Control of Stormwater Pollution from Building Sites provides a practical guide to best practice techniques to minimise stormwater pollution from building sites. These guidelines are designed to help people involved in the building industries to comply with their statutory environmental duties and avoid large fines. The guidelines are available in fact sheets and in a booklet from Council through the contact details shown below.
