Notice to end significantly contaminated land declaration

(Section 44 of the Contaminated Land Management Act 1997)

Notice Number 20154416; Area Number 3180

Background

The land to which this notice applies was declared as “significantly contaminated land” (formerly known as “Remediation Site”, declaration No. 21049) by the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) and has been the subject of an EPA approved voluntary management proposal.  The management actions under the approved proposal have been completed and the results have been made available to the EPA.

Repeal of declaration

Having reviewed the results of the management actions, the EPA is satisfied that it no longer has reason to believe that contamination of the land to which this notice applies is significant enough to warrant regulation under the Contaminated Land Management Act 1997 (CLM Act).

Pursuant to section 44 of the CLM Act, the declaration of significantly contaminated land No. 21049, dated 17 August 2004, ceases to be in force on the date on which this notice is signed in so far as the Declaration applies to the land to which this notice applies.

Information recorded by councils

Section 59 of the CLM Act requires the EPA to give a copy of this notice to the relevant local council.  The council may then make appropriate consequential modifications to the planning certificate issued in relation to the land to which this notice applies pursuant to s149 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979. 

Relationship to other regulatory instrument

This repeal notice does not affect the provisions of any relevant environmental planning instruments which apply to the land or provisions of any other environmental protection legislation administered by the EPA.
