This document outlines the strategy proposed by the West Coast Regional Council for ensuring that a coordinated and effective approach is taken.
A risk-based approach to contaminated site management is recommended for reasons of pragmatism as the community cannot afford to manage or remediate too many sites at once. By prioritising this Council’s response to specific contaminated site issues on the basis of risk it has achieved the greatest environmental gain earlier in the programme. A focus on prevention of future contamination of land through the Council’s Environmental Education Strategy is a key component of a cost-effective programme in the long term.
