A breakfast forum by the Environment Institute of Australia and New Zealand
South East Queensland Division (EIANZ-SEQ)

Have you ever wondered why a project was being assessed under one environmental impact assessment process (EIA) rather than another?

In Queensland, there are a number of different ways the environmental impacts of a project can be assessed, including multiple EIS processes under State legislation as well as a range of assessment processes under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.

This seminar will provide attendees with an overview of the EIA processes available in Queensland as well as an insight into important legal and technical considerations when deciding on what process works best for a particular project.

The seminar will also cover:

• the pros and cons of various EIA processes;
• common legal risks in the EIA process and strategies for managing risk;
• current trends in EIA;
• the implications of recent and proposed reform to EIA processes, including bilateral agreements and the new IAR process for coordinated projects.

Speakers:

Geraldine Squires – Principal Environmental Consultant,GHD

Xavier McMahon – Special Counsel, Clayton Utz

A light breakfast will be served during this event.
