Past and present land uses across Sunshine Coast 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 needs of each project.
Nova Group Pacific delivers solutions that protect public and environmental health by identifying, assessing, remediating, and validating contaminated land. We utilise National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) accredited laboratories to ensure accurate, reliable, and defensible results.
Our experienced consultants support projects from initial site assessment through to remediation and final validation, helping ensure compliance with Queensland environmental requirements.
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 sources of contamination and determine the need for further investigation.
Preliminary Site Investigations are commonly required to support development approvals and planning processes across Sunshine Coast.
Stage 2 – Detailed Site Investigation (DSI)
Detailed Site Investigations are undertaken when a PSI 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 risks and inform remediation strategies.
Detailed Site Investigations are often required to support development approvals, site transactions, and environmental compliance.
Remediation Services
Where contamination is identified, a Remediation Action Plan (RAP) may be required to outline the strategy for managing and removing 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 works and ensure compliance with Queensland environmental legislation.
Our team can support the full remediation process, including planning, contractor management, and validation.
We have experience in managing:
- Asbestos and chemical contamination in soil
- Removal of above and underground petroleum storage systems
- Groundwater remediation
- Off-site disposal of contaminated and hazardous materials
- Fuel and chemical spill response
Site Validation
Validation programs confirm that remediation has been successfully completed and that the site is suitable for its intended use.
Nova Group Pacific provides sampling, analysis, and interpretation to assess whether remediation objectives have been met. 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
Understanding the contamination status of a site is critical when purchasing, selling, or leasing property in Sunshine Coast.
Due diligence assessments help identify potential environmental liabilities, risks, and opportunities associated with a site. This ensures informed decision-making and protects against unexpected costs or regulatory issues.
Nova Group Pacific’s experienced consultants can tailor investigations to suit your project requirements, timeline, and budget.
