You are invited to have your say on the proposed amendments to the Environment Protection Act 1993 contained in the draft Environment Protection (Waste Reform) Amendment Bill 2016 (Waste Reform Bill).

The state government has prepared for comment the draft Waste Reform Bill to provide the necessary underpinning for the EPA to be able to better tackle illegal dumping and achieve a suite of waste reforms.

To find out more or have your say, you are invited to attend our consultation forum.

The potential amendments contained in the draft Waste Reform Bill were presented for consultation (August 2015) and are detailed in the discussion paper Reforming waste management – Creating Certainty for and industry to grow. There was a strong degree of support for the proposed amendments, and feedback has assisted in the drafting of the Waste Reform Bill. A summary of the submissions received on the discussion paper that relate to changes proposed to the Environment Protection Act may be downloaded here.

We look forward to see you at the consultation session.
