Australasian Land & Groundwater Association (ALGA) Sydney Branch’s September event is a panel of government and industry leaders exploring the theme: How can stronger collaboration between government and industry lead to improved outcomes for contaminated land projects, particularly when cross-jurisdictional regulatory conflicts arise?
The discussion will examine the challenges of navigating overlapping regulatory frameworks and highlight opportunities for coordinated, collaborative, and circular economy approaches that can deliver positive outcomes for projects, communities and the environment.
Join us at Aurecon’s North Sydney office on Wednesday 3 September, 11am to 1pm. The session will be convened by Aurecon’s Matthew Tendam, with an opening introduction from Braith Gilchrist.
A light lunch will be provided.
