Environmental Officers work within the Environmental Services and Regulation (ESR) division of DESI. The division provides targeted, consistent and transparent regulation that facilitates sustainable development in Queensland. ESR proactively manages and monitors environmental risks through a modern and innovative regulatory framework that includes assessment, compliance, investigation and enforcement programs. ESR also provides extensive frontline services both centrally and regionally.

All Environmental Officers, regardless of classification level or position title provide a range of services under relevant legislation including the Environmental Protection Act 1994, Planning Act 2016, Waste Reduction and Recycling Act 2011, Coastal Protection and Management Act 1995, Queensland Heritage Act 1992 and a range of other related legislation.

Environmental Officers within ESR will undertake either assessment or compliance activities. Assessment officers will be located in one of our specialised business centres which focus on a particular sector - minerals mining, coal mining, petroleum and gas, or industry and development - and will carry out assessments of the environmental risks associated with applications. Compliance officers will be located in one of our 13 offices around the state from which they will respond to incidents and complaints, visit high-risk sites to check on businesses environmental performance and help license holders understand their environmental obligations.
