(a) The Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC), and its predecessors, have not authorised remediation work on reserves surrounding the Mosman Park Municipal Tip following its closure.
(b)(i) - (v) Not applicable.
(c) Appropriate soil and groundwater investigations would need to be undertaken before DEC can determine if any remediation is required.
(d) If soil and groundwater investigations determine that remediation is required, the
Contaminated Sites Act 2003
sets out the hierarchy of responsibility for remediation. The Contaminated Sites Committee, established under the Act, may determine who is responsible for remediation of sites which are classified 'contaminated - remediation required' if requested to do so or may choose to do so if there is any doubt about who is responsible.
(e) Appropriate soil and groundwater investigations will need to be undertaken to determine if contaminants are leaching from Minim Cove Park into the Swan River as part of consideration of any development approvals for the area.
