Are you confident\u00a0that you are complying with environmental laws<\/strong>?\u00a0 Can you demonstrate compliance to the regulators?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

With the change of focus of\u00a0the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) and\u00a0the Planning Regulator\u00a0to strict compliance, it is now imperative that industry,\u00a0business and councils understand their\u00a0 obligations and are able to demonstrate compliance.<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 The Workshop will\u00a0include a practical\u00a0session on developing your own compliance assurance tool kit.\u00a0 The Workshop will also address how compliance is managed across other states.<\/p>\n
