The Australasian Land and Groundwater Association (ALGA) aims to bring people with like interests together to network, build capacity, exchange ideas and further the science and technology surrounding the prevention, assessment and remediation of contaminated land and groundwater in Australia and New Zealand.

The Australasian Land and Groundwater Association was formed in 2007 to provide a forum and identity for the Australasian contaminated land and groundwater industry, and to support the many professionals working in the field.
ALGA is a broadly based national professional association incorporating members from industry, consultants, contractors, regulators, government, universities, researchers, laboratories, legal practitioners and those in managing and developing property.
