REVIEWS
The Environmental Law Toolkit - NSW is a user-friendly guide through the legal minefield of the environment. Although aimed at community groups, it is equally applicable for individuals or businesses that need to be across the vast range of issues, Acts and policy requirements that define environmental management. The latest edition updates and improves upon the 2001 (4th) edition …
This book would be a useful addition to the shelf of any community environmental group, local government or environmental practitioner. It is well set-out, logical and easy to read so that the information is fully accessible. Highly recommended.
Canberra Environment and Sustainability Resource Centre, August 2005
