Abstract

The article comments on approaches to environmental protection of contaminated sites in Australia through the National Environmental Protection (Assessment of site contamination) Measure 1999. It makes reference to a 2012 audit of the Victorian Auditor General's Office (VAGO) on the management of risks from contaminated sites to highlight the inadequacy of science-based guidance and standards for clean-up and management of land contamination.
