Gregory has 22 years of experience as a regulatory practitioner in NSW EPA and NRAR. He has led to solve complex regional, industrial, and statewide regulatory issues to do with pollution, biodiversity conservation, forestry and water management. Gregory has developed strong insights into the regulatory craft and using the full suite of tools to solve problems to get real on ground outcomes.
He is committed to serving people and the environment. He understands the power of proactive regulation, the importance of effective laws and how to effectively engage stakeholders to broaden reach and influence.
Passion for environment protection and natural resource management, years of experience in exercising the regulatory craft and a natural connection with people are among the skills and qualities Greg brings to AELERT.
