The Victorian Government will introduce a Bill this week to defer the Environment Protection Amendment Act 2018 (EP Act reforms) until July 2021. This initiative is designed to allow business and industry to focus on the immediate impacts of coronavirus.
The EP Act reforms were due to commence in July 2020, introducing significant changes to the environmental laws in Victoria.
The COVID-19 Omnibus (Emergency Measures) Bill 2020 will also amend other legislation to allow courts, parliamentary committees and Councils to operate in these unique times.
