Planning and Contaminated Land - Lessons from 20 years of the Victorian environmental audit system (VPELA) (Vic)

The Victorian EPA environmental audit system recently celebrated its 20th anniversary. This coincided with the 20th anniversary of Ministerial Direction No.1 - Potentially Contaminated Land first introduced in October 1989. So how far have we come in ensuring that contaminated land is suitable for its intended future use? How is the planning system for managing potentially contaminated land (PCL) working? How is it impacting on Councils and developers? Many PCL decisions can involve significant legal risk; what do the Courts and VCAT say?


WHEN: Tuesday 16th March 2010 - 5.30pm

WHERE: Treasury Theatre, Lower Level, Treasury Building
1 McArthur Street, Melbourne
