Land Contamination | 2005
Indicator description
What does the Data tell us for 2005
Council has adopted a draft “Contaminated Land
Policy” based on a model policy developed by the Southern Sydney Regional
Organisation of Councils. It is envisaged that the draft
Policy will be formally exhibited for public comment during in late 2005/early 2006
and affected landowners will be advised accordingly.
The database that Council holds on site records showing a
previous landuse that may lead to site contamination has a
total of 356 active sites.
