Are you confident that you are complying with environmental laws? Can you demonstrate compliance to the regulator?

The Australian Environment Business Network (AEBN) has developed this practical one day Workshop to provide you with the tools and procedures to enable you to comply and demonstrate compliance to the regulator. Environmental lawyers will take you through the legal framework and explain your legal obligations under Environmental and Planning laws; with environmental experts demonstrating how to access and understand the environmental requirements and legislation applicable to your site and business. The Workshop will include a practical session on developing your own compliance assurance tool kit. It will also address how compliance is managed across other states.
