Municipal environmental tasks transferred to the Environmental Service of North and Central Limburg
As of April 1, 2026, municipal environmental tasks (permit issuance, supervision, and enforcement) in the municipality of Weert will be carried out by the Environmental Service of North and Central Limburg (ODNML). The ODNML is an organization specifically established for the 15 municipalities in North and Central Limburg to promote a healthy, safe, and sustainable living environment.
What exactly will the ODNML do?
The ODNML ensures that businesses and residents in the region take their living environment into account and keep it healthy, safe, and sustainable. To achieve this, the ODNML issues permits and monitors compliance with agreements made. They aim to do this in a constructive manner, fostering connections with residents and entrepreneurs. In addition to these tasks, the ODNML also provides advice, such as on asbestos, wastewater, odors, and noise. By collaborating on these issues, municipalities can continue to perform these tasks effectively.
What changes for me as a resident or entrepreneur?
The collaboration between our municipality of Weert and the ODNML ensures that we can continue to perform our environmental tasks in a high-quality and future-oriented manner. For now, you can still find all information about municipal environmental tasks on the municipality’s website. At a later date, this information will be moved to the ODNML’s website.
