The Australian Environmental Law Enforcement and Regulators Network (AELERT) is a network of environmental regulatory agencies who are responsible for the management of natural resources, cultural heritage or the protection of the environment. It aims to build relationships between jurisdictions to facilitate the sharing of information and to improve the regulatory compliance capacity of member agencies. It also seeks to develop national standards for training and best practice in environmental regulation.
Membership of AELERT is open to any federal, state or local government agency that has environmental, planning, or natural resource related responsibilities. As an AELERT member, agencies can access nationally accredited training packages (Certificate IV in Statutory Compliance and Certificate IV in Investigations) that have been customized to enhance their practical application to the environmental regulator. Agencies will also soon be able to access a resource library containing examples of case law, prosecution policies, relevant articles, compliance and investigations manuals, and national training calendars via this website.
To find out more about AELERT initiatives and how your environmental regulatory agency can become a member, please visit the Background and Member pages. The Links page on this website will be progressively enhanced to provide members with a greater range of resources from national and international regulatory agencies.
The 6th annual AELERT conference will be held from 15 - 17 September 2009 in Hobart, Tasmania. To view information about the conference, click here.
