This session is a unique opportunity to hear and share experiences, good practice and lessons learned with respect to environmental enforcement and prosecution in Queensland. Our panel of government, legal and environmental experts will address:

• A prosecutor’s perspective on the EHP regulatory approach and enforcement toolkit, including exclusive insights on the new enforceable undertaking option.
• A review of the latest environmental prosecutions in Queensland and analysis of key findings and learning points.
• A defence perspective on the legal challenges associated with responding to EHP investigation and enforcement action.
• A consultant’s perspective on how environmental risks associated with some of the latest environmental prosecutions in Queensland could have been better managed.
• An interactive workshop with our expert panel involving a hypothetical and practical compliance scenario.

Speakers will include:

Kirsten Clayton, Director of the Litigation Unit, Department of Environment and Heritage Protection (EHP);

Olivia Williamson, Associate with HopgoodGanim Lawyers;

Neil Sutherland, Chris Anderson and Phil Matthew from Gilbert + Sutherland

Chair: Omar Ameer, Director. Regulatory Performance, EHP.

An essential seminar for those in industry, private practice and government who want to avoid the enforcement spotlight and, if something does go wrong, obtain the best outcome.
