AUSTRALIAN WATER LAW
Stoeckel, Webb, Woodward and Hankinson
Australian Water Law will provide a practical
guide for legal practitioners who need to
understand the impact of both state and Federal
legislation across all jurisdictions.
The diversity of laws and regulations constituting
“water law” reflect the diverse uses of water
and the history of water management, as well
as the evolution of water rights in Australia.
The common law, the state/ Federal split of
powers and different policy frameworks
interact to provide a network of controls.
This timely new work offers a practical focus on:
• problems for corporations and businesses who
want to use water
• the rights of individuals and corporations, and
• the issues facing those managing the
consumptive and environmental uses of water.

INTERNATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL LAW
AND POLICY, 4TH EDITION
Hunter, Salzman and Zaelke
The most widely adopted text in the field, this
comprehensive, multidisciplinary casebook
analyses the major treaty regimes (with an
expanded climate chapter), as well as customary
law principles. It emphasises the dynamic
nature of the law-making process, including
global environmental diplomacy and the
expanding role of non-State actors, including
scientists, nongovernmental organisations,
and business. It presents the binding norms of
international environmental law and explains
how international co-operation facilitates and
strengthens global environmental governance
through setting national priorities, co-ordinating
bilateral and multilateral science, financing,
technology sharing, and capacity building.

THE ENVIRONMENTAL LAW
HANDBOOK: PLANNING AND LAND
USE IN NSW, 5TH EDITION
Edited by David Farrier and Paul Stein
new
EDition
This fifth edition has been heavily reorganised
and rewritten, and redesigned for easier location
and use of content. New content includes a
new chapter on energy; integrated discussion
on issues of climate change mitigation and
adaptation; extensively revised discussion on
biodiversity, coastal and riverside lands, heritage
issues, and environmental assessment regimes;
major rework of treatment of development, land
use and mining; thorough updating for judicial
interpretation and legislative change.
Twenty specialists in environmental law share
the writing, building on the work of previous
editions, and working under the editorship of
Professor David Farrier and the Hon Paul Stein
QC AM. These barristers, solicitors, professors,
academics and policy makers apply their wealth
of practical experience and knowledge to offer
a clear account of environmental planning and
protection in NSW.
A handbook for practising lawyers and for
students, the careful balance of clarification and
detail also makes the text more widely useful.
Planners, engineers and environmental scientists,
as well as those involved in environmental or
community causes and who seek a good grasp
of the legal responsibilities of those overseeing
a complex network of rights and regulations,
will find this a valuable resource.
