Lotsearch

It is estimated that there are approximately 160,000 contaminated land sites across Australia. Lotsearch, experts in spatial intelligence and risk mapping, offer contaminated land due diligence reports designed for conveyancers, legal practitioners, and valuers.

Lotsearch Environmental – Contaminated Land Search

The Environmental Risk – Contaminated Land Search provides a search of records related to contaminated land held by state environmental regulators and selected federal government agencies on freely available public registers. These records are different in each jurisdiction and can provide information across multiple aspects of environmental risk associated with actual or potential contamination, including:

  • The identification of land known or notified as contaminated.
  • The licensing of commercial or industrial activities that may pose a risk of potential contamination.
  • Known investigations into suspected contamination issues.
  • Potential for contamination issues from issued statutory notices (for example, to clean up contamination) and groundwater use restrictions.

Lotsearch Environmental – Contaminated Land Screening Report

Lotsearch also offers a more comprehensive Contaminated Land Screening Report, which includes additional data from historical sources and a bespoke assessment of the potential for contamination to affect a site. This report provides more information about contamination risk. It may be more suitable for jurisdictions where information about contamination risk is important due to the contaminated land liability regime (which may, in certain circumstances, give rise to a risk of liability for an owner or occupier to clean up of contamination that they did not cause or contribute to).

information in the report.

lot boundary clearly highlighted.
These include declared contaminated
and sites of other contaminating
activities managed and regulated by the
relevant environmental regulators.
These include historical business
activities that had the potential to cause
contamination but where the site may
not have been previously assessed
or investigated.
These are other government or proprietary
datasets (in addition to the above) that
contain information about sites that are
known to carry a risk of contamination.
