Environmental Site Assessments for Planning Purposes

The Planning and Environment Act 1987 mandates a planning authority to provide sound, strategic and co-ordinated planning of the use and development of land. Also requires a system of planning schemes as a way of setting out objectives, policies and controls for the use, development, and protection of land. An authority is required to prepare a planning scheme or planning scheme amendment when they consider the potential for land contamination and to ensure the suitability of land in relation to land development.
