The Policy forms the basis for the management of land contamination within the City of Canterbury-Bankstown and has been made as a policy under the planning guidelines and SEPP 55 in order to implement a contaminated land management framework. It applies to all land in Canterbury-Bankstown.

Previously, both former Councils had an adopted policy governing the management of contaminated land in the respective local government areas. This aligned Contaminated Land Policy enhances these previous policies and practices.

In accordance with planning guidelines, the Policy provides the framework for the integration of land contamination management into Council’s planning and development process, and aims to:

  • ensure that changes of land use, or new development proposals, will not increase the risk to human health or the environment.
  • avoid inappropriate restrictions on land use.
  • provide information to support decision-making and to inform the community.
