Independent assessors could be answer to unblocking environmental approvals logjam
GHD in the news
GHD's Sally Wilson says the creation of a network of independent, accredited renewables assessors that could assess applications on behalf of the proposed new federal Environment Protection Agency (EPA), could accelerate renewable energy approvals through providing more efficient inputs into transparent and rigorous decision-making. The network could operate similarly to the existing state-based contaminated site auditor schemes, leveraging the Environment Institute of Australia and New Zealand’s Certified Environmental Practitioner (EIANZ CEnvP) certification (or similar) for accredited assessors.
