National Environmental Guidelines for Piggeries 2010

The National Environmental Guidelines for Piggeries (NEGP) review was conducted after extensive consultation with industry, state government agencies and researchers. As in the 2006 version, the NEGP 2010 provides a general framework for managing the environmental issues associated with piggeries, and the guidelines have been tailored to industry circumstances and conditions most commonly encountered. 

A national approach promotes consistency in proposals for new developments and facility upgrades across the states and territories.  It also assists producers to comply with licence and approval conditions and with current regulatory standards. 

APL, on behalf of industry, is committed to regularly updating the NEGP to ensure they remain technically relevant and reflect changes in science, community expectations and piggery management.
