Abstract:

The purpose of this guide is to assist remediation service providers, auditors, local governments, health professionals, environmental regulators and other responsible parties to develop and implement plans for remediation using an evidence-based understanding of residents’ perceptions and acceptance of remediation technologies. The guidance is relevant to both remediation planning and community engagement planning. The guidance within this document should be considered in conjunction with guidance in the National Remediation Framework, and any relevant state specific remediation policies and guidelines. The development and associated research for the guide was funded by the Cooperative Research Centre for Contamination Assessment and Remediation of the Environment (CRC CARE), and is part of CRC CARE's Best Practice Policy program, which is developing new principles, indicators and strategies to support the development of new policy frameworks for remediation that effectively and positively engage with communities. The guidance, and evidence-base, were developed by a team of researchers from the Institute for Sustainable Futures at the University of Technology Sydney; the Institute for Choice at the University of South Australia; and King’s College London. With support from the SA Environment Protection Authority, NSW Environment Protection Authority, Orica, Thiess Services, GHD Australia, LandCorp West Australia, NSW Health, and Queensland Health. The unique evidence-base used to construct this guidance document has been internationally peer reviewed, and is drawn from a detailed study of the perceptions and acceptance of different remediation technologies by 2953 Australian residents, 2009 of whom lived near 13 contaminated sites across Australia. The sites were located in New South Wales, South Australia, the Australian Capital Territory, Tasmania, Queensland and Victoria. The 13 sites had a range of recognised environmental contaminants present, including solvents, hydrocarbons, heavy metals, asbestos and putrescible waste.
