The legislative regime for environment protection in Victoria has been the subject of major reforms. In this program, Rob Jamieson, from Ashurst in Melbourne, reviews these reforms to the Environment Protection Act, and Regulations, their impact on businesses and individuals managing and controlling land, and the impact on the role and responsibilities of legal practitioners advising them. Topics covered include: the changed approach to environmental protection; the new license and permit regime; changes to contaminated land and waste management regulation; and the increased powers of the EPA to investigate and enforce the legislation.
