Consultation has concluded
Contaminated land has the potential to have significant economic, environmental, planning and legal implications. To limit the potential impacts on the community and the environment, the Draft Policy and Guidelines set out a best practice framework for council to follow when assessing and managing land contamination. Council manages land contamination in its roles as a planning authority, public land manager and as a regulatory authority.
The purpose of the Draft Contaminated Land Policy and Policy Guidelines is to ensure that appropriate assessment and management of contaminated land is undertaken in the Port Macquarie-Hastings Local Government Area. The Policy applies to all land in the PMHC local government area.
The Draft Policy and Guidelines are based on the NSW Planning Guidelines for managing contaminated land and have been developed with the assistance of the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) under the Contaminated Land Program with funding provided by the NSW Environment Trust. The Policy and Guidelines will provide a regionally consistent approach to contaminated land management.
Please note that if the proposed Draft Policy and Guidelines are adopted, council’s existing Contaminated Land Policy will be rescinded.
You can have a look at both of these policies and guidelines (located in the document Library on the right):
The old policy "Policy - Contaminated Land - adopted 2010" (to be rescinded).
The new draft policy "Draft Contaminated Land Policy" (to be adopted in 2017).
The new draft guidelines "Contaminated Land Policy Guidelines" (to be adopted in 2017).
