Air Quality Management Plans
MRP develops air quality management plans for proposed and ongoing projects across Australia. From regulatory approval conditions through to ongoing operational requirements, our plans provide the emission controls, monitoring frameworks, and response procedures needed to protect the community, satisfy your regulator and maintain your licence to operate.

Management plans that lack technical detail or miss regulatory expectations create review cycles that can impact project or approvals timelines. We develop air quality management plans that can provide regulators with confidence in project outcomes, address key risk pathways, and keep projects moving forward.
What is an air quality management plan?
An air quality management plan is a structured document that sets out how a project will identify and manage air emission risks during construction or operation. It typically defines relevant air quality objectives, outlines potential emission sources, and documents appropriate control and mitigation measures, supported by clear management and response procedures. For regulators, it demonstrates how air quality impacts will be managed to meet approval requirements. For site teams, it provides a clear, practical framework for day‑to‑day emissions management.
What does an AQMP cover?
Every air quality management plan is built around a core set of technical components. The scope and depth of each depends on your project type, the emissions involved, and the conditions your regulator has set, but a well-developed plan will typically address:
- Emission source identification and inventories
- Air quality criteria and standards
- Air dispersion modelling
- Monitoring program design
- Mitigation and control measures
- Trigger levels and response procedures
- Reporting, review, and adaptive management
Why work with MRP?
MRP Technical Consulting brings direct regulatory and industry experience to every management plan we develop. Our team has prepared air quality management plans across mining, oil and gas, and industrial projects, as well provided expertise to government regulatory authorities and international development banks. Our managing principal, Martin Parsons, has over 25 years of experience in air quality services. That experience shapes how we approach every engagement, ensuring we produce plans built to satisfy the authority assessing them.
Types of management plans we develop
Air quality management plans take different forms depending on the emission types and regulatory context involved. We develop plans tailored to specific pollutant categories, each structured to meet the relevant standards and approval requirements for your project.
Dust management plans
Plans for managing particulate emissions from earthworks, materials handling, vehicle movements, and exposed surfaces at your site boundary.
Odour management plans
Plans for controlling odour-generating sources and establishing complaint response procedures that meet regulatory odour criteria.
Emissions management plans
Plans covering gaseous and particulate pollutants from industrial processes, combustion sources, and fugitive releases against licence conditions.
