Does Sloane report a non-compliance to the regulator?+
No. Sloane assembles the record and names the results worth a look. Your licensee decides whether something is a non-compliance, and your licensee reports it. Sloane never decides, never reports, never certifies and never lodges.
Would Sloane notice a pollution incident?+
No, and nothing on this page should be read that way. Sloane reads periodic records after they arrive — laboratory reports, field sheets and complaints — and is not a monitoring, alarm or safety function. Detecting an incident and notifying anyone about it belongs to your qualified people.
Which return do the period figures feed?+
Whatever your own licence conditions currently require. On the NSW EPA’s guidance as updated in April 2026, the annual return has been replaced by a requirement on the licensee to report a non-compliance within 21 days of becoming aware of it, load-based licence holders still lodge a simplified annual return, and in the short term licensees are required to submit an annual summary of monitoring data as a spreadsheet. Conditions are being varied on a rolling basis and other states run different regimes, so the monitoring schedule in your own licence is what the register is built against.
Does Sloane interpret our licence conditions?+
No. Your people read the licence and confirm the monitoring points, parameters, units and frequencies. Sloane builds the register against what you confirm, and puts anything the confirmed schedule does not cover on the query list.
What happens when a laboratory report is late?+
It goes on the gap list with its monitoring point, the required window and its due date. A chase to the laboratory is drafted for approval, and your person decides what else the gap needs.
Can Sloane sign or lodge the summary?+
No. Sloane assembles it and hands it to your nominated person, who checks every figure and then lodges it. Where a submission carries a declaration — a load-based licence annual return must be signed by the licence holder, or by someone the EPA approves in writing — that signature is your authorised signatory’s, and it is one of the things Sloane never does.
How is Sloane different from permits and approvals administration?+
Rowan owns the application register, lodgement readiness and the conditions a granted approval imposes. Sloane works after that point, on the monitoring results those conditions require and the quantitative record assembled from them.
How is Sloane different from quality systems administration?+
Arden owns a controlled document register, revision history and the audit calendar for a management system. Sloane owns a measured monitoring record and the period figures assembled out of it. Which registers each one keeps is set during onboarding.
What appears in the weekly monitoring report?+
Results registered, gaps by reason and age, monitoring points with no coverage for the period, readings dated outside their required window, complaints recorded, and items waiting on a licensee decision.
How is Sloane different from reporting and analytics administration?+
Kai prepares report packs from your approved templates, including board, funder and regulator reports, and a named approver releases every one. Sloane builds no outward report at all: Sloane keeps the monitoring record and the period figures such a report would draw on.
How is capacity set?+
The delivery team confirms a range of monitoring points and laboratory reports per week per seat during onboarding. Above that range, the scope narrows or a second seat is considered.
