Western Australia

Welcome to the EIANZ WA Division!

The WA Division's membership is very diverse and includes environmental practitioners from state & local government, utilities, consultancies, mining and construction companies and law firms.

The Division has held a number of very successful functions over the last two years. This is attributed to the endeavours of the Committee, which has continued to meet monthly and ensure that a suitable range of seminars has been available for members and prospective members. A steady stream of new membership applications is further evidence of the resurgence that the Division is currently enjoying.

The focus of the WA Division is to disseminate information on emerging and important environmental issues for environmental practitioners. In Western Australia , key issues include:

* clearing of native vegetation
* salinity
* sustainability
* phytophthora dieback
* environmental management systems
* environmental auditing
* air quality
* contaminated sites
* amendments to environmental legislation

The Division will continue to arrange seminars, conferences and workshops involving scientists, policy-makers and practitioners to address and debate these issues. Several social events are held each year which provide a great opportunity for meeting your peers.

For those considering a career in environmental science, the WA Division will arrange career's nights if there is a demand. At these events, a cross-section of environmental practitioners will give presentations followed by an opportunity to mix and mingle over drinks and nibbles.

These events have been particularly successful.
