ASBG has responded to the POEO Amendment Bill 2014 calling for further clarification of the legal term in s128 'practicable means as may be necessary to prevent or minimise air pollution' on non-point sources. Clarification of the meaning of an odour pollution incident which exceeds the material harm threshold is also asked for. ASBG indicated its willingness to participate in developing further guidance on these issues.
The EPA responded to ASBG's letter (see below), indicating that it was a clarification of existing powers and that odour is not an indication of a new focus of control.
