We invite you to hear from expert speakers; Michael Rehfisch (Senversa), Stefan Fiedler (Russell Kennedy), and Patrick Clarke (Senversa), who will provide an update on the reformed legislation, what you need to know now and into the future. There will be an opportunity for Q&A, so come along with your questions.

The draft subordinate legislation is the next component of the major reform package. With under a month until consultation closes, we encourage you to join us for this topical breakfast seminar to better understand how the changes will have a profound impact on your operations, namely contaminated land development, waste, resource recovery, organic waste processing and wastewater and biosolid reuse.
