Melbourne’s North Food Group is coming together with food group partner Doing Business Better and V&C Environment Consultants to host an information seminar on the new Victorian Environment Protection Act.
About the event
On 1 July 2020, the new Environment Protection Act will come into force in Victoria.
This will have an impact on all companies, especially small to medium sized companies. Fines of $1.6m for corporations and $300,000 for individuals who do not have a robust risk identification and management process will come into effect, even if no pollution has occurred.
The new Act is a total rewrite of environmental legislation and takes a radically different approach to environmental management. A summary of some changes are:
- new proactive ‘General Environmental Duty’ obligations on all Victorian organisations
- significant new fines for lack of a formal environmental risk management system
- third party prosecutions of organisations causing pollution
- new mandatory reporting requirements for pollution events and contamination.
Understand your responsibilities and what systems and processes you need to have in place by 1 July 2020.
The session will be presented by Stephen Grech from Doing Business Better with principal consultant Vic Natoli from V&C Environmental Consultants.
Find out:
- information on new Act
- what is the impact of the new Act on your business
- what you will be required to do under the new Act
