The EPA is continuing to make inroads in provincial communities across South Australia and was recently met with a warm reception in the Riverland when representatives from more than 50 local businesses welcomed Principal Adviser Peter Scott.
Mr Scott was a guest at a Bizlink seminar in Berri where he presented EPA case studies and offered advice on the obligations of small businesses to reduce their environmental impact that led to a positive discussion.
Bizlink seminars have been established by the Office of the Small Business Commissioner (SASBC) to connect small business operators with government representatives on a wide range of areas.
More information on the SASBC.
Mr Scott also recently represented the EPA as part of a South Australian delegation of industry, local and state government representatives at Lake Eildon in Victoria where they assessed the environmental and economic benefits of a cost-recovery scheme involving the management of several hundred houseboats.
The delegation will report their findings to the Natural Resources SA Murray Darling Basin Board.
