EnviroMac Newsletter: ISSUE 13 / MAy 2014

Dear clients and subscribers

In last month’s EnviroMac, in comment on new waste management law and other amendments to the NEM:WA, I noted “These latest promulgations and changes hopefully mark a respite in the flurry of developments in this field of law over the past year”. Clearly, we did not anticipate the commencement of the promulgation of the NEM: Waste Amendment Act 26 of 2014 and the National Environmental Management Laws Amendment Act 25 of 2014 on the 2nd of this month (See Newsflashes 28 and 29).

I refer to some of the unsettling reasons why, in this article.

Kind regards
Kenneth Cameron
