Are you confident that you can demonstrate compliance to the Environment Regulators?
With the ongoing focus of strict compliance by Environment Regulators across Australia, including with the new Victorian Environment Protection Act, it is imperative that organisations understand their obligations and are able to effectively demonstrate compliance to the Regulators.
This includes consideration of the expectations on businesses that relates to the expected 2020 commencement of the new Victorian Environment Protection Act
The Australian Environment Business Network (AEBN) together with the experts and former Regulator have developed this practical half day Workshop to provide you with the tools and procedures to enable you to demonstrate compliance with obligations, and will take you through how compliance is managed across states/territories.
