ASBG is running a Contaminated Land Conference in Brisbane.
I would appreciate it if you could forward this flyer on to
your personal and professional networks.
The Standing Council on Environment and Water has approved an
amendment to the National Environment Protection (Assessment of Site
Contamination) Measure.
The Measure establishes a nationally consistent approach to the
assessment of site contamination to ensure sound environmental management
practices by the community. The amendment ensures it will remain the premier
document for the assessment of site contamination in Australia, used by
regulators, site assessors, consultants, environmental auditors, landowners,
developers and industry. The measure incorporates updated methodologies for
assessing human and ecological risks and site assessment methods now in line
with advances in Australia and overseas. Ministers recognised the contributions
from all stakeholders, including the National Health and Medical Research
Council, in the development of the updated measure.
