Pollution Law

Concordia Pacific can provide businesses with peerless expertise in managing their environmental responsibilities. We have a wealth of experience in all phases of environmental regulation, including air and water pollution control, waste disposal, leaking underground storage tanks and clean up of contaminated land.

Concordia Pacific offers a comprehensive range of services in pollution law. We can provide timely, carefully considered assistance with:

• Defending against environmental prosecutions in the Land and Environment Court and in Local Court.
• Due diligence investigations, so that you will be fully advised about possible risks and liabilities before you purchase property or a business that is engaged in pollution-generating activities.
• Obtaining licenses under the Protection of the Environment Operations Act, development approvals under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, and ensuring that the conditions that are attached to these approvals are fair and reasonable.
• Carrying out environmental audits so that you will be aware of the pollution risks associated with your business operations and of the steps that you can take to minimise those risks.
• Negotiating the terms of voluntary remediation agreements under the Contaminated Land Management Act.
• Responding to clean up, prevention, prohibition and noise control notices issued under the Protection of the Environment Operations Act.
