Event Description
Contamination is a major potential risk to human health and the environment. For those involved in property and corporate transactions, it is important to understand the risks associated with potential (or actual) contamination at a site and the legal and practical implications of contamination.
In this webinar, experts will share an overview of contamination risk identification and the key state laws in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland, which govern contamination management and liability. The discussion will also delve into the disclosure requirements under the Environment Protection Act 2017 (Vic) and proposed changes to property law disclosures in Queensland.
