Delegates at this year’s Waste SA Conference were given an insight into plans for future waste reform initiatives, regulations and enforcement measures for South Australia during a presentation by the EPA Chief Executive Tony Circelli.
He also outlined the 2016–17 EPA Corporate Plan which he said is providing a pathway towards a better environment for the wellbeing of all South Australians.
“In the last 12 months the EPA has engaged and worked collaboratively with the community, industry and other government agencies to deliver important initiatives and reforms,” Mr Circelli said.
“This includes making progress towards key waste reforms to improve safety in the management of waste and provide certainty to the resource recovery sector to promote growth and innovation.”
Mr Circelli said the EPA will continue to focus on providing the community and industry a robust regulatory framework that protects the environment, safeguards the community and which promotes a level playing field for industry development.
“We will further develop the capability of the EPA to improve the value of our services to South Australians,” he said.
