Assessment areas
An EPA assessment area may be identified where information on site contamination shows the need for potential risks to human health to be assessed.
Where there is no person liable to undertake the work, the EPA will conduct the environmental assessment and engage with all affected owners and occupiers of the land in an assessment area. Where there is a liable party, the EPA’s role is to regulate the person liable to undertake the work and engagement with the community.
Information on large assessment areas is available from the links below. For information on smaller sites, contact us on (08) 8204 2004.
