Legal and policy frameworks for addressing site contamination in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region

This subprogram will review the adequacy of current legal and policy arrangements for contaminated sites both in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. In later stages the research will build on the research from the Risk Assessment, Remediation and Prevention programs by identifying initiatives that will lead to the rapid adoption of the new technologies emerging from these programs and by facilitating training in connection with their implementation.

  • Clean-up in the Asia-Pacific region
  • Contaminated Sites Law and Policy Directory -  Australia
