Keeping up with the Law: Environmental, Heritage and Sustainability in the Geelong Region

This week Gabrielle joined Tetra Tech Coffey's Kate McCallum and David Lam joined a panel of experts at THE KO event space in Geelong hosting a seminar for clients.

The panelists covered environmental law issues, environmental duties, cultural heritage, and sustainability trends, with a strong emphasis on the compliance issues clients are facing in the Geelong region.

Gabrielle is delighted to be sharing her insight as an Environment & Planning lawyer on how the EP Act in Victoria, which commenced on 1 July 2021 has shaped current practice. She will be sharing her perspective with property lawyers and explore the contaminated land regime in the State. The event is invitation only. If you are a property lawyer and would like more information about upcoming events, please CONTACT us.

Of all the things that give our clients headaches, waste management can often be among the most complex and challenging issues. Given it is so fundamental to good environmental management as well as sustainability reporting, this event is going to deep-dive into all things waste-related. 

Waste management can be a big area of risk for business, depending on your activities, source materials and waste streams. It spans everything from hazardous waste storage, handling and transport, to waste water, to recycling and reuse approvals. It is made substantially more difficult by the fact that waste management is different in each State and Territory and by the fact that in many cases, despite the emergence of circular economy principles, options for recycling and reuse can be difficult to implement. The risks have increased and it's time for most businesses to review how they manage waste across their supply chain (including due diligence about sourced materials as well as waste streams).

Guthrie Legal is thrilled to bring this content with our event partner, Emerge Associates.

Environmental incident response is a critical part of environmental and legal risk management. Preparing for pollution and other incidents, training your team on response obligations, developing mandatory plans, and ensuring you have an incident response procedure are critical for environmental managers, GMs, and boards. All jurisdictions including Victoria now have mandatory incident notification obligations which require you to notify incidents of certain types to the environmental regulator.
