TUESDAY 24 | 9.00-10.20Toitū te whenua, whatungarongaro he tangata – insights from indigenous ways of knowing and doing

Dru MarshSenior Legal Policy Officer, Environmental Protection Authority, AustraliaDru Marsh is a senior legal policy officer with the Victorian EPA where he recently assisted in developing and drafting Victoria’s new Environment Protection Act. Previously he practiced as a lawyer in environment and safety and holds a PhD in environmental science.

TUESDAY 24 | 11.00-12.30A new approach to an old issue:Victoria’s transformed contaminated land laws and legal implications for development and management of brownfield sites

After 47 year in service, Victoria’s Environment Protection Act 1970 (one of the first laws of its type to be adopted in the world) will be retired in favour of an entirely new model. The Environment Protection Act 2017 abandons the reactive, command-and-control, pollution-based offences in favour of criminally enforceable, general environmental duties, requiring those who choose to engage in activities that risk harming human health or the environment to bear the primary onus of proactively minimising the risks to prevent any such harm. As part of the reform, the Victorian Government has also revised its contaminated land framework to address legacy contamination under a proactive duty that complements the general environmental duty, supported by a revised environmental audit scheme. This session will explore the policy objectives underpinning the new contaminated land scheme, with reference to contemporary contamination issues facing regulators in both Australia and New Zealand, with a view to highlighting how Victoria hopes to tackle the entrenched challenges of contaminated land by applying a duty-holder centric, risk-based and evidence-led scheme.

Nicky McIndoePartner, Kensington SwanNicky leads Kensington Swan’s National Environment and Planning team. She has been a specialist environment and planning lawyer for over 19 years and a partner at Kensington Swan for five years. Nicky advises government agencies, SOEs and council-controlled organisations throughout New Zealand carrying out large infrastructure projects, including new roads, reservoirs, bridges, ferry terminals, transmission lines and hydro-electric power schemes.

TUESDAY 24 | 11.00-12.30

An RMA perspective on waste management and contaminated land: The Northern Corridor Improvements Project as a case study

Waste-related issues are now commonplace in applications under the Resource Management Act 1991. Not only is land development expected to minimise the waste it creates, but existing contaminated land creates real costs and limitations around the future use of land. The Northern Corridor Improvements State Highway Project had a range of waste-related problems to overcome. The project was typical of modern brownfield development, in that it required works on contaminated land, raised reverse sensitivity issues, and impacted wastewater treatment infrastructure. It therefore provides a fantastic case-study of Resource Management Act application to waste issues.

FEATURED SPEAKERS

Hon. Eugenie SageAssociate Minister for the EnvironmentEugenie Sage is the Minister for Conservation, Minister for Land Information New Zealand and Associate Minister for the Environment. She has been a Green MP since 2011. Before that, she was an elected Environment Canterbury regional councilor. For much of her adult life she has worked to better protect Aotearoa/New Zealand’s natural landscapes and seascapes, and the indigenous plants and wildlife that call them home, including 13 years with the conservation organisation, Forest and Bird.

WEDNESDAY 25 | 9.00-10.30

Robert KelmanPresident, Reloop Pacific, AustraliaRobert Kelman is contracted by an EU based agency, the Reloop Platform, to advance the circular economy agenda related to single use plastics, as well as containers more broadly, including collection arrangements, recycled content, refillable containers and data gathering. Robert also coordinates the Australian Council of Recycling (ACOR) container deposit division; and is Executive Officer of the Australian Tyre Recyclers Association (ATRA). Robert lives in Hobart, Tasmania and spent a year (a couple of decades ago) working for Greenpeace in Auckland. For the past 20 years he has worked in various corporate sustainability roles.

WEDNESDAY 25 | 9.00-10.30Best practice container deposit schemes – lessons from over the ditchEvery container deposit scheme in the world has slightly different governance arrangements. As New Zealand appears to be considering new options for container product stewardship, some lessons from a near neighbour may be useful. This presentation will examine how each of Australia’s states have approached the issue, comparing differences; as well as looking briefly at global best practice.

Mark BayerPresident, Bayer Strategic Consulting, USAMark is the founder of Bayer Strategic Consulting, based in Washington D.C. Prior to founding this company, Mark served as chief of staff in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives during a 20-year Capitol Hill career. He was also a co-founder of a non-profit organisation and a management consultant for PricewaterhouseCoopers. Mark shows scientists and engineers how to supercharge their advocacy and influence skills through powerful, proven insider techniques.

WEDNESDAY 25 | 13.30-15.00Connect before you communicate: Keys for mastering difficult conversationsBacklash aimed at communicators of unfavourable information is as potent today as it was 1500 years ago. First identified in the Sophocles play Antigone - “For no one delights in the bearer of bad news” - the reflex to “shoot the messenger” was recently studied by researchers at Harvard Business School, who published their findings in the April 2019 issue of Harvard Business Review. Despite facing such an ingrained human tendency, environmental experts in contaminated land can learn to effectively communicate during difficult conversations with affected community members and other stakeholders. Find out how in this engaging keynote.

Douglas WoodringFounder + Managing Director, Ocean Recovery Alliance, Hong KongDouglas is the founder and managing director of Ocean Recovery Alliance, a non-profit organisation which is focused on bringing together innovative solutions, technology, collaborations and policy to create positive improvements for the health of the ocean. He is a United Nations climate hero, and Google Earth hero for his efforts. Ocean Recovery Alliance is one of the first NGOs to have worked with both the United Nations Environment Programme and the World Bank on plastic pollution issues. Douglas is also the founder of the Plasticity Forum, which focuses on plastic innovation and solutions for circularity.

WEDNESDAY 25 | 13.30-15.00Plastic – the material that binds the planetAn estimated 8 million tons of plastic enters the ocean each year – a large number, but dwarfed by the roughly 4.9 billion tons of plastic waste dumped on land and sea since 1950. The cause: 50 years of disposable plastic products and packaging, with globally inadequate investment in low-waste alternatives and recycling systems. Consumers do not pay — and few companies voluntarily shoulder the full cost of preventing or cleaning up the waste produced by their products. A key barrier to both investment and the rapid adoption of better solutions and policies remains sheer cost. Today, the world faces immense challenges with closing “cleaner” borders, and the lack of financial incentives to drive significant change. Take a deep-dive into the background of how we got to the state-of-the-union we face today, with a world almost literally wrapped in plastic from all corners of the world, with few signs of significant abatement…. yet. Luckily the world has now woken to the vast impact and complexities that plastic pollution brings to our communities and environments, and this is where many opportunities lie in wait for those who can find ways to modify collection and value-added uses for plastic in its second life, creating a world without the plastic footprint we have today. Is ocean cleanup the best opportunity for improvement? How do we get the broader public to play a role with lost fishing gear? Or can we? What are microplastics and how can we combat this “marine dust”? Why the rivers are a key to stop the “bleeding”, and how we might even help the issues with the Fox River. The world is moving quickly on this topic, and although there are global commitments with aggressive goalposts, is it going to be enough?

GALA DINNER MC

Kelli SullivanCommunications and Stakeholder Manager, NZ Transport Agency Kelli is a communications and stakeholder engagement specialist with over 15 years’ industry experience in a variety of roles. In addition to her communications skills, Kelli also provides expertise in the field of social impact assessment, leveraging off her well-developed skills in community relations to identify, mitigate and manage the social consequences of large infrastructure projects. As well as leading stakeholder engagement across a range of transport projects and programmes, Kelli’s role includes strategic communications and relationship management.

THURSDAY 26 | 11.00-12.30How to plan and deliver effective engagement strategiesWho are ‘the public’ and why, in an increasingly interconnected world, are they still confined to a single seat at the decision-making table? Stakeholder engagement is inextricably linked to power and influence. How we define and map stakeholders at the outset of a project often determines who and what counts. This keynote considers how, with an informed understanding of ‘the public,’ we can plan and deliver effective engagement strategies that are inclusive, meaningful, mitigate adverse social effects and ultimately build community capacity. Using examples from transport projects in Auckland and Northland, Kelli will explore concepts of community, discuss common barriers to public participation, ways to identify ‘the public’ and methods to ensure the voices of diverse communities, including vulnerable populations, are heard. When we approach public participation as a process, rather than a project milestone, we can establish meaningful connections with people that foster community support and advocacy for our projects. Kelli will also discuss ways to keep the conversation going and how ongoing communications and engagement can help shape resilient communities, long after the road cones have gone home.
