In June 2011, the Department initiated enforcement action against Quanstruct (Aust) Pty Ltd for breaching conditions of EPBC approval 2010/5552 for a dog training facility at 180 Loemans Road, Bulla, Victoria. Condition 2 required the company to achieve net environmental gain in a designated offset area through a 10-year management plan, including prohibitions on storing materials, waste, equipment, or vehicles on the site. Following desktop examination, site visits, and information requests, departmental investigators identified non-compliance with these conditions. The Compliance Management Panel considered enforcement options—including suspension/revocation, investigation for section 142 offences, condition variation, or infringement notices—and recommended issuing one infringement notice, noting that inaction risked sending the wrong message to similar proposals in the region.
