The Water Portal at Environmental Law Online

Environmental Law Online is a free resource offering people a broad range of information on environmental law in Victoria. The site is an initiative of the Environment Defenders Office (Victoria), (the "EDO") with the support of the Victoria Law Foundation and The Ian Potter Foundation.

According to the EDO, their mission is to meet the need in the community for a legal service providing advice and assistance to people who wish to protect the environment. The EDO attempts to redress the considerable imbalance in resources that exists between the public and those who initiate planning and development proposals.

Environmental Law Online is another way in which we are trying to redress this imbalance. Selected lawyers with particular expertise directly contribute to the content of this website. The site contains useful resources on catchment management and catchment planning, as well as a range of resources relating to water law in Victoria.
