Queensland Contaminated Land Procedures Set to Change

The former Newman Government’s efforts to reduce ‘green’ tape in Queensland are expected to come into effect in mid-September with the enactment of the Environmental Protection and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2014. The changes will make it mandatory for Contaminated Land Investigation Documents (CLIDs) to be certified by an approved Auditor before submission to the Department of Environmental and Heritage Protection (DEHP).

The certification process will improve the efficiency of developing contaminated sites by ensuring any contamination has been appropriately managed or remediated.

The law firm, Broadley Rees Hogan, recommends selecting an auditor early in the due diligence stage of site acquisition.

  • When the EPA first notified us about ground contamination we were at a loss. We had no idea what to do or who to turn to. Geo-Logix saved us a lot of time, money and anguish. Most importantly, they remediated our site to the satisfaction of the EPA.

  • We have really appreciated Geo-Logix’s outcomes-focused approach which helped to minimise our development risks. In an ideal world we would prefer not to develop sites with environmental issues, but as this is the reality, we won’t hesitate to consult Geo-Logix for any future projects.
