Delivery of the Revised Course in

Protection of the Environment: Authorised Officers

The Department of Environment, Climate Change & Water NSW has revised the Authorised Officers Course, to reflect the Protection of the Environment Operations (POEO) Amendment Act 2005, the new Local Government Training Package and the experiences of local councils over recent years in fulfilling their responsibilities under the POEO Act. 

SD Environmental Management is the DECCW’s training provider for the course, assisted by specialist presenters from the DECCW. The course is interactive, with activities and assessment tasks aimed at increasing officers’ competence in managing their regulatory role. 

The course is suitable for environment officers, EHOs and rangers.
