Environmental Policy

At Walkom Constructions, safety is at the core of everything we do. We are committed to providing a safe working environment for our team, subcontractors, clients, and the communities in which we operate.

Our Environmental Commitment

We believe that sustainable construction is essential to the long-term wellbeing of our community and natural surroundings. Our environmental policy is guided by the principles of prevention, responsibility, compliance, and continuous improvement.

We are committed to:

  • Minimising waste through efficient planning, recycling, and responsible disposal.
  • Reducing energy use and carbon emissions wherever possible.
  • Selecting environmentally responsible materials and suppliers.
  • Preventing pollution and protecting local ecosystems.
  • Meeting and exceeding all applicable environmental legislation, codes, and industry best practice

Site Management Practices

Each project is assessed for environmental risks before work begins. We implement site-specific controls such as:

  • Erosion and sediment control measures
  • Dust and noise mitigation
  • Stormwater management
  • Safe chemical storage and spill prevention

These systems are monitored and adjusted throughout the project lifecycle to ensure best environmental performance.

Education & Accountability

Environmental awareness is part of our company culture. All team members and subcontractors are expected to:

  • Understand and follow site-specific environmental plans
  • Use materials, tools, and energy responsibly
  • Report potential environmental hazards or incidents

We also provide regular training to ensure compliance with evolving environmental standards.

Supporting Sustainable Growth

From high-end custom homes to multi-residential developments, our goal is to deliver lasting value while respecting the environment. We encourage sustainable design choices and collaborate with clients and consultants to achieve energy efficiency, water conservation, and low-impact construction outcomes.

Regional Responsibility

Operating across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, the Hunter, and Central Coast, we are committed to protecting the unique environments of the regions we serve — from coastal areas to suburban and semi-rural communities.

Walkom Constructions is proud to uphold environmental integrity as we build for future generations. If you’d like more details about our Environmental Management practices or certifications, please contact our team.
