Environmental Public Health (Amendment) Bill

The Environmental Public Health (Amendment) Bill proposes several amendments to the Environmental Public Health Act 1987. It aims to introduce licensing requirements for cleaning businesses supplying cleaners, as well as enhance the regulatory framework for waste management workers' wages. The bill empowers the Director-General to classify cleaning and waste collection licenses, ensuring compliance with progressive wage models for workers. Key amendments include establishing responsibilities for building owners regarding waste facilities maintenance and presuming liability for littering from residential flats. The bill also extends the complaint period for offences from one year to three years.
