The ACT Environmental Law Handbook

ORDER FORM

Do you want to know how our heritage sites, trees, flora and fauna are protected? How the planning system works in Canberra? What environmental impact assessment developers have to do? How pollution is controlled?

This handbook sets out the ACT law on these questions, and more, in an easy-to-read style. Its purpose is to give the ACT community, particularly environmental groups, a useful resource when working to protect our environment.
