Dairy Australia, in partnership with the UDV and EPA Victoria, invites dairy farmers to a series of online webinars for dairy farm businesses on what the changes to the Victorian Environment Protection Act and regulations mean for their day-to-day business operations.
The changes represent a a significant change in environmental management across Victoria, with a move from prosecution of offenders to prevention of environmental damage.
There will be six webinar times to choose from. Each webinar will be the same, however the ‘Large Herd’ webinar will also include information specific to farmers with larger herds who are managing larger volumes of wastes and other materials.
The webinars will be presented by Dr Meredith Gibbs of Gibbs Advisory. Dr Gibbs is an expert on environmental law and has previously provided industry briefings to the Dairy Manufacturers Sustainability Council on the new EP Act and compliance obligations for these businesses.
All sessions will include time for questions, and a recording of the presentation will be available afterwards, along with supporting documents to assist farmers with their understanding of the changes.
The dates of upcoming webinars are:
● Thursday, July 29 — this session will also cover information for large herds — from noon to 1.30 pm;
● Friday, July 30 from noon to 1.30 pm;
● Wednesday, August 4 from noon to 1.30 pm; and
● Monday, August 9 from noon to 1.30 pm.
