The event is designed to serve as a crucial platform for policy makers and regulators to disseminate information to the environmental sector. This exchange of information is intended to enhance our collective approach to environmental management and compliance. Furthermore, it offers environmental professionals an opportunity to engage with policy makers and regulators on matters of industry significance, gain clearer insights into evolving issues, expanding states of knowledge, or changing regulations. In addition, there is significant benefit to new entrants and those requiring clarification to understand the roles of the departments and where they interface.
The overarching objective is to establish a dependable channel of communication that bridges the gap between those working in environmental industries and, policy makers and regulators. This communication aims to foster better outcomes for the Victorian community and environment by jointly addressing pivotal issues and adapting to significant regulatory changes. Pillars of the proposed sessions are:
