EPA Victoria Chairman Cheryl Batagol will lead a committee examining EPA South Australia’s management of historic site-contamination issues and how communication with residents and other landholders can be improved.
The review will use recent contamination issues as examples and ensure continuous improvement in the management of site contamination in South Australia.
The committee will consider the roles and responsibilities of EPA SA and government agencies, inter-agency cooperation as well as the prioritisation of work on sites posing potential health risks.
This review will assess the effectiveness of the system currently in place and make recommendations for reform including protocols and practices to reflect the community’s changing expectations about the communication of site contamination matters.
