Contaminated Sites Amendment Bill 2005 |
| Bill No. | 022 |
| Long Title | The purpose of this Bill is to amend section 27 of the Contaminated Sites Act 2003. The amendment rectifies a discrepancy between the intention of section 27 of the Principal Act, regarding land owners' responsibility for remediation, and its actual effect. The intention of section 27 was that where contamination had migrated from a contaminated site (the "source site") to affect other land or groundwater (the "affected site") that the person responsible for remediating the source site should, in the first instance, also be responsible for remediating the affected site. |
