The top 5 things people forget about NSW pollution laws
On demand podcast

The Protection of the Environment Operations Act 1997 (NSW), or the POEO Act, is the key environmental statute in NSW which regulates activities with the potential to cause pollution. With several tricky and little known provisions, it can be a challenge to successfully navigate this complex piece of legislation.

In the latest episode, Elizabeth Wild, Partner and Sarah Mansfield, Special Counsel, explore the top 5 aspects of the POEO Act which clients overlook or fail to fully utilise. This discussion may help you to reduce your exposure to liability, transact land and businesses regulated by Environment Protection Licences and understand when directors and officers can be exposed to personal liability.
