Expert Contaminated Land Services in Melbourne
Past and present land uses across Melbourne have resulted in contamination on many sites, posing risks to human health and the environment. Our specialist environmental consultants provide a comprehensive range of soil and groundwater assessments tailored to the specific requirements of each project.
Nova Group Pacific delivers solutions that help protect public and environmental health through the identification, assessment, remediation, and validation of contaminated land. We utilise National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) accredited laboratories to provide accurate, reliable, and defensible environmental data.
Our experienced consultants support projects from initial site assessment through to remediation and final validation, helping clients manage environmental risks and support compliance with EPA Victoria requirements and Victorian environmental regulations.
We also offer the option for reports to be prepared or reviewed by a Certified Environmental Practitioner (CEnvP), providing additional assurance for regulatory approvals and project stakeholders.
Stage 1 – Preliminary Site Investigation (PSI)
The first stage in assessing potential contamination involves reviewing current and historical land uses to identify potential contamination sources and determine whether further investigation is required.
Preliminary Site Investigations are commonly undertaken to support planning permit applications, development approvals, property transactions, and environmental due diligence processes across Melbourne.
Stage 2 – Detailed Site Investigation (DSI)
Detailed Site Investigations are undertaken where a Preliminary Site Investigation identifies potential contamination risks requiring further assessment.
These investigations involve targeted soil and groundwater sampling to determine the nature, extent, and concentration of contaminants. The results provide the data required to assess environmental risks, support site suitability assessments, and inform remediation strategies.
Detailed Site Investigations are commonly required to support redevelopment projects, planning approvals, site transactions, and environmental compliance obligations across Melbourne.
Remediation Services
Where contamination is identified, a Remediation Action Plan (RAP) may be required to outline the proposed strategy for managing and remediating contamination.
Nova Group Pacific develops and implements remediation strategies tailored to site conditions, project timelines, and budget requirements. The RAP provides a structured framework to guide remediation activities and support compliance with applicable Victorian environmental requirements.
Our team can support the full remediation process, including remediation planning, contractor management, environmental monitoring, and validation.
We have extensive experience managing:
- Asbestos and chemical contamination in soil
- Removal of above-ground and underground petroleum storage systems
- Groundwater remediation
- Off-site disposal of contaminated and hazardous materials
- Fuel and chemical spill response
Site Validation
Validation programs help confirm that remediation activities have been completed and that the site is suitable for its intended use.
Nova Group Pacific provides sampling, analysis, and interpretation services to assess whether remediation objectives and site suitability criteria have been achieved. Where required, further remediation or land use restrictions may be recommended.
We also offer CEnvP-certified reporting to support regulatory approvals and stakeholder confidence.
Due Diligence Assessment
Understanding the contamination status of a site is critical when purchasing, selling, or leasing property in Melbourne.
Due diligence assessments help identify potential environmental liabilities, contamination risks, and site constraints associated with a property. This supports informed decision-making and helps reduce the risk of unexpected costs, delays, or regulatory issues.
Nova Group Pacific’s experienced consultants can tailor investigations to suit your project requirements, timeline, and budget.
