SUMMARY:Environmental Law Essentials
DESCRIPTION:CIGRE Australia presents Environmental Law Essentials. Reserve Your Seat for This Limited-Capacity Event! \nEnvironmental law is no longer a background consideration\, It is now central to how electricity projects are planned\, approved\, delivered and managed. With major transmission and infrastructure projects facing increasing scrutiny\, this workshop will help attendees understand the legal risks\, obligations and opportunities that shape environmental decision-making in Australia. \nThe session will connect environmental law to real project work\, giving attendees practical insight into what to consider\, what to address early\, and where common pitfalls arise. It will also highlight key case law and lessons that can help project teams make better\, more defensible decisions when planning and delivering works. \nNumbers for this event are limited. Register now to secure your place. \nWorkshop Overview: \n\nHow common law developed — from historic foundations to modern legal precedent\nHow power is divided between the Commonwealth and the states under the Constitution\nHow common law and statute law interact in environmental decision-making\nPlanning law essentials — key considerations before works begin\nBiodiversity law — what project teams need to know\nHeritage law — obligations\, approvals and project delivery considerations\nPollution law — risks\, responsibilities and practical implications\n\nAbout The Presenter: \nBrett Hayward is the CIGRE Australia C3 Power System Environmental Performance Panel Convenor and brings more than 25 years’ experience across the resources and electricity industries\, supported by a Master of Environmental Law and a Bachelor of Environmental Science.
