The Environment Legislation Amendment Bill 2021 (the Bill) proposes to amend several pieces of environmental legislation to strengthen the NSW Government’s ability to:
- protect human health
- prevent, manage and remediate land contamination, pollution and illegal waste disposal, and
- effectively enforce environmental legislation and ensure the polluter pays.
The Bill will also modernise existing legislation to ensure it remains effective, efficient, meets best practice, and adopts or aligns with more contemporary regulatory powers and provisions available in other jurisdictions or other legislation in New South Wales.
