• air quality
  
• waste management
  
• water quality
  
• eco-efficiency and sustainability
  
• management of chemicals
  
• support Indigenous peoples' participation
  
• integrated national heritage policy
  
• integrated approach to heritage and environment protection
  
• innovative policy tools and information
  
• working in partnership across government.
  

EPHC also reinforced the importance of taking action to improve water quality and will work closely with the Natural Resource Management Ministerial Council to address this issue.
