Environmental law workshop |
The Environmental Defenders' Office (EDO) will be conducting a community environmental law workshop at the Woy Woy Environment Centre on Saturday, November 18.
A free advice clinic will be held on Sunday, November 19, which will be an opportunity for residents to talk about environmental law issues face-to-face with an EDO solicitor.
Participants of the workshop will receive practical information to help them participate more effectively in environmental decision making in their local area. Topics covered will include: the planning and development system, threatened species law, coastal protection law, effective submission writing, and access to information.
Special attention will be given to environmental issues facing the Peninsula.
The workshop will be held from 10am to 5pm on the Saturday, and the clinic will be held from 10am to 2pm on the Sunday.
Morning and afternoon tea will be provided, but participants will be asked to bring their own lunch.
Places will be limited, so registration is required.
The workshop normally costs $25. However on this occasion, it will be just $15, due to a subsidy from the Central Coast branch of the Australian Conservation Foundation.
The advice clinic is free.
To register for this workshop and advice clinic, or for more information, contact Tisha Dejmanee at tisha.dejmanee@edo.org.au or on (02) 9262 6989.
The Woy Woy Environment Centre is located at 267 Blackwall Rd, Woy Woy, corner of Billabong Rd, one block south of the swimming pool and leisure centre.
