Environmental Site Inspection Software for Australia
Site assessments, contamination surveys, vegetation monitoring, water and dust compliance, built for environmental consultants and asset owners.
Environmental site inspection is one of the most regulated and most documented areas of practice in Australia. Federal obligations under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 sit alongside state environmental authority regulation, condition-of-approval monitoring, water licences, dust limits, and progressive rehabilitation regimes. Every observation needs to be defensible, every measurement needs to be tied to time and place, and every report needs to stand up to regulator scrutiny. InspectAndGo brings field-grade documentation to environmental inspection workflows.
Real-world challenges
What inspectors and asset owners in this sector deal with every day.
Layered federal and state obligations
EPBC Act referrals, state environmental approvals, water licences, dust and noise limits, and rehabilitation bonds all sit on top of each other. Operators have to track every layer separately.
Long-running monitoring programmes
Environmental compliance is rarely a one-shot inspection. Quarterly water quality, monthly dust readings, annual vegetation surveys, and ongoing rehabilitation reporting all need to be tracked across years.
GPS-tagged evidence is non-negotiable
A water quality reading without a precise location and timestamp is worthless. Regulator scepticism of paper records has driven the shift to digital field capture.
Contaminated land and asbestos overlap
Site assessments often need to consider contamination, asbestos containing material, and hazardous substances together. Each has its own regulatory framework.
Compliance frameworks we support
InspectAndGo handles documentation requirements across the major Australian environmental compliance regimes.
EPBC Act 1999
Federal environment protection and biodiversity conservation. Referrals, conditions of approval, ongoing monitoring obligations.
NEPM (ASC) 1999
National Environment Protection (Assessment of Site Contamination) Measure. The technical baseline for contaminated land assessment.
AS 4482
Guide to the investigation and sampling of sites with potentially contaminated soil. Sampling design, QA/QC, and reporting structure.
AS/NZS 5667
Water quality sampling, design, sampling techniques, preservation, and analytical considerations.
AS 4964
Method for the qualitative identification of asbestos in bulk samples. Used in site contamination assessments.
State EPA acts
NSW POEO Act 1997, QLD EP Act 1994, VIC EP Act 2017 (and amendments), WA EP Act 1986. Day-to-day compliance is administered by state regulators.
How InspectAndGo helps

Frequently asked questions
Can I use it for contaminated land assessments?
+
Yes. The platform supports the structured field capture, sample documentation, and chain-of-custody workflows that NEPM (ASC) and AS 4482 require. The actual assessment and report writing remains the work of the contaminated land consultant. InspectAndGo gives them defensible field evidence.
Does it handle long-running monitoring programmes?
+
Yes. Recurring inspection schedules are supported, with reminders and historical trend tracking across multiple inspection visits. Annual vegetation surveys, quarterly water quality, and monthly dust readings can all be set up as recurring workflows.
How does it support EPBC Act condition reporting?
+
EPBC conditions of approval typically require ongoing monitoring and annual reporting. InspectAndGo captures the monitoring data, photographs, and observations that feed into the annual report. The platform does not write the report itself, but provides the underlying evidence base.
Can it integrate with environmental management systems?
+
API access is included on Business and Enterprise plans. Custom integrations to common environmental management and GIS platforms can be built using the API and webhook system.
Does it work offline at remote sites?
+
Yes. The platform is offline-first by design. Inspectors can capture observations, photos, and GPS data entirely offline, and the data syncs automatically when connectivity returns. This is essential for mine rehabilitation sites, contaminated land surveys in remote locations, and biodiversity monitoring.
