Get the Site Right inspection blitz returns in late August 2025

Published on 20 August 2025

Campbelltown builders and developers are being encouraged to safeguard their construction materials from strong weather events to prevent the pollution of local waterways as part of the Get the Site Right campaign this August.

Get the Site Right is held multiple times throughout the year to remind builders and developers from across NSW about the importance of securing their sites and protecting the environment.

Officers from Campbelltown City Council and the NSW Environment Protection Authority will participate in a five-day compliance inspection blitz in the Campbelltown area from Monday 25 August to Friday 29 August.

The upcoming blitz will focus on strengthening erosion and sediment controls of constructions sites across NSW and prevent sediment runoff and building waste from polluting local waterways.

“It’s vital that we take steps to do all we can to protect our local environment, which is why Get the Site Right campaign focuses on ensuring builders and developers are doing the right thing,” Mayor of Campbelltown Darcy Lound said.

“Local developers and builders are urged to be proactive and ensure that their sites are compliant with these inspections which occur throughout the year,” Cr Lound said.

Get the Site Right is a joint taskforce between the Parramatta River Catchment Group, Cooks River Alliance, Georges Riverkeeper, NSW Environment Protection Authority, Sydney Coastal Councils Group, WaterNSW and councils across NSW.

Penalty notice fines may be issued under the Protection of the Environment Operations Act by the NSW EPA. These fines include:

• $15,000 for a first offence and $22,500 for a second offence for individuals.
• $30,000 for a first offence and $45,000 for a second offence for corporations.

The general public are encouraged to report any pollution incidents to their councils or EPA’s 24/7 Environment Line on 131 555.
