Pymble Business Park - Ku-ring-gai Council

11.1 LAND CONTAMINATION
3
Objectives
Controls
1 To ensure that the
site is suitable for the
development.
2 To ensure that changes
to land use will not
increase the risk to public
health or the biophysical
environment.
3 To ensure sites are
correctly remediated to
a level appropriate to the
future use.
1 Refer to Council’s Contaminated Land Policy 2004 for a list of
activities that may cause a site to be considered ‘potentially
contaminated land’, and for requirements for development
applications, rezoning and remediation works on contaminated land.
2 Prior to submission of a development application for a site where
contamination may be present, a suitably qualified and experienced
environmental engineer is to assess whether the subject land is
contaminated, on behalf of the applicant.
3 Development applications on contaminated land are to provide
a report on type, location of contamination and measures to
remove and dispose of contaminated materials. The report from
the environmental engineer is to include a statement on whether
the measures proposed will result in the site being suitable for the
proposed development.
Note: State Environmental Planning Policy 55 - Remediation of Land
outlines provisions in relation to contamination and remediation to be
considered in determining a development application.
