Project 4-2-01-05/06: Review of current law and policy re contaminated sites and efficacy of current Federal-State cooperative measures

Project Leader: Mr David Cole

Duration of Project: March 2006 - February 2009

Project Summary

The aim of this project is to produce a comprehensive description of current site contamination law and policy in each jurisdiction within Australia, and also at the national level (including the NEPM on site assessment). New Zealand will be included in this survey if possible.


A second aim will be to examine the extent to which cooperative arrangements between the Commonwealth and the States have produced uniform or consistent approaches to the identification, assessment and remediation of contaminated sites in Australia.
