Leap is a two day summit being held on Thursday 4 June - Friday 5 June 2015 that will focus on the hurdles and pathway forward for environmental legislation, environmental approvals and policy.

Rarely a week goes by without discussions or notifications of a change of environmental legislation, policy or approvals strategy. As environmental practitioners, or professionals who work closely with environmental planning, we must to these hurdles and provide ethical, sustainable solutions. In this forum we will hear from Queensland’s leading practitioners in environmental approvals, development and implementation of legislation and policy.

How are lessons past being applied to improve performance and enhance environmental outcomes? How can we lead the way for the next generations for environmentally and economically sustainable solutions to today's challenges?

This Summit is aimed at environmental practitioners from students and early careers through to experienced professionals. It will also appeal to non-environmental practitioners who are exposed to the requirements of environmental planning, approvals and policy fluctuations.

What will you learn?

• Understanding the roles of regulators, proponents, contractors and consultants;
• Negotiation skills (with proponents and the regulator)
• Risk management
• Improvements to your environmental auditing,
