Queensland EMR Removal Guide: CLIDs and Auditors

Editorial photograph representing Queensland contaminated land investigation and EMR removal for rural and urban properties

Overview If land in Queensland is listed on the Environmental Management Register (EMR) or Contaminated Land Register (CLR), removing it is not a simple letter to the department. Under the Environmental Protection Act 1994, removal normally requires a Contaminated Land Investigation Document (CLID) prepared by a suitably qualified person, certified by an approved contaminated land … Read more

Asbestos Source Assessment and Clearance for a Development Site, South-West Sydney

Aerial imagery review and field validation sampling at a greenfield development site

iEnvi provided an independent asbestos source assessment and post-removal clearance at a greenfield development in south-west Sydney. The assessment determined the fragment originated from a historic stockpile, verification testing returned no asbestos detected, and the site was cleared to progress with development.

Proof in the Soil: PSI and Screening for a Former Sawmill

A concise, defensible Preliminary Site Investigation (PSI) and targeted soil screening at a former regional Queensland sawmill clarified contamination risk (timber-treatment residues, unknown fill, petroleum), updated the conceptual site model and set clear triggers for any further DSI or groundwater work — supporting sale, planning and due diligence.

Fresh Lease, Clean Start: Baseline Check at a Busy Brisbane Logistics Hub

iEnvi completed a targeted, construction‑friendly Baseline Contamination Investigation at a large southern Brisbane warehouse and logistics facility to provide a defensible contamination snapshot for lease handover. The program combined desktop records review, GPR service clearing, targeted drilling (8 locations to ~8 m), 16 primary soil samples plus QA/QC for TRH, BTEXN, PAHs, metals and asbestos, and a Baseline Contamination Report signed by a CEnvP Site Contamination specialist.

From an EPA Clean-Up Notice to a Clear Path Forward

How a targeted investigation, waste classification testing and a pragmatic remediation strategy closed data gaps for asbestos‑contaminated imported fill in north‑west Sydney — turning a NSW EPA Clean‑Up Notice into a compliant, cost‑efficient remediation pathway.

From Quarterly to Biannual: Groundwater Monitoring that Keeps Risk Low

Practical groundwater monitoring that confirms monitored natural attenuation, meets regulator expectations, and supports a safe transition from quarterly to biannual sampling with clear triggers and contingency planning.

Landfill Gas Assessment, Bus Depot, Melbourne West

Landfill gas monitoring at an operating bus depot in Melbourne's western suburbs

Targeted landfill gas and groundwater assessment at an operating bus depot adjacent to two closed municipal landfills in Melbourne’s western suburbs. No methane detected and EPA Victoria action levels not exceeded. Planning condition satisfied with no further LFG controls recommended.

Ensuring Safe School Development: Soil and Asbestos Investigations in Melbourne’s Northern Growth Corridor

Proposed school site with stockpiles in distance

iEnvi conducted a Preliminary Site Investigation and soil testing across a large greenfield parcel in Melbourne’s northern growth corridor. Surface sampling and stockpile checks found no asbestos or contaminant levels above NEPM Tier 1 screening criteria for sensitive land uses, supporting school development approval with practical construction-phase recommendations.

Confident Acquisition Backed by Targeted Environmental Checks

Targeted, NEPM‑aligned due diligence (PSI + simple tenant lines of enquiry) to give fast, proportionate assurance for acquisition and staged redevelopment of an industrial site in South Australia — reserving intrusive investigation for clearly observed triggers.

Building Confidently on a Closed Landfill: Gas Risk Assessment and a practical CEMP

How a lean, risk‑focused contaminated‑land approach gave a community sports club a construction‑ready landfill gas assessment and a practical Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) so the clubhouse could be built safely, on time and on budget.
