In 2018, the Victorian Parliament passed milestone legislation that in mid-2020 is scheduled to repeal and replace the State’s principal pollution control and waste management legislation, the Environment Protection Act 1970.

The new legislation will substantially change the way in which industry and business is regulated in Victoria, and impose important new environmental and contaminated land duties. The Victorian government has now released draft Regulations, a draft Environmental Reference Standard and a number of protocols that provide a clearer picture of how the new legislation work, and how it will affect different industry sectors. These draft instruments are open for public comment until 31 October 2019.

The Environment Institute of Australia and New Zealand (EIANZ) together with White & Case are delighted to host a seminar that will explore the draft Regulations and Standard in more detail, what it means for business, developers and environmental professionals, and things to consider when making your submissions on the draft instruments and prepare for in anticipation of the new legislation coming into force.

Meet the Speakers:

• Dru Marsh, Senior Legal Policy Officer | EPA Victoria
• Paula Bradshaw, Director Environment & Planning | Aurecon
• Tim Power, Partner | White & Case

Drinks and nibbles provided.
