3)  Have Your Say On The Future of the EPA, October 21 in Sunshine

The Inquiry into the EPA is seeking your views on issues related to the EPA and ways government can respond to future challenges facing you.
A major independent inquiry has been commissioned by the Minister for Environment, Climate Change and Water to look at the future role of the Environment Protection Authority (EPA), Victoria’s environmental regulator.

The Ministerial Advisory Committee for the Inquiry will be holding a public consultation session in Sunshine on Wednesday 21 October, at Victoria University, Sunshine Convention Centre, Gate 1, 460 Ballarat Road, from 5.30-7.30pm.

           

Local residents are encouraged to attend to raise matters of concern and share future ideas. Key themes to be discussed include land use planning, public health, emergency management, climate change, better regulatory approaches, and ways the EPA can effectively consult with the community.
Register your attendance by visiting www.epa-inquiry.vic.gov.au or by phoning (03) 9948 2882.
Chair of the Ministerial Advisory Committee, Ms Penny Armytage said this is a once-in-a-generation chance for the public to have a significant influence on the way the EPA operates into the future.
“We are seeking direct feedback from the Victorian community to better understand individual, business needs to meet Victoria’s future challenges,” Ms Armytage said.

Public consultation meetings are being held in 17 locations across the State including Wodonga, Shepparton, Werribee, Warrnambool, Coburg, Bairnsdale, Traralgon, Richmond, Horsham, Ballarat, Bendigo, Frankston, Geelong, Sunshine, Dandenong, Ringwood and Mildura.
The Inquiry will report to the Minister for Environment, Climate Change and Water by 31 March 2016.
