Environmental Protection Act 1994

This section applies if a person gives the administering authority a contaminated land investigation document.

The document must be accompanied by a declaration, made by the relevant person, that the person—

has not knowingly given any false or misleading information to the auditor who certified the document; and

has given all relevant information to the auditor; and

if the person is not the land’s owner—has given a copy of the document to the owner.

The relevant person is—

if the contaminated land investigation document is given to the administering authority in order to comply with a notice given to a person by the authority under this Act—the person to whom the notice was given; or

otherwise—the person who gives the document to the administering authority.

However, if the person mentioned in subsection (3)(a) or (b) is a corporation, an executive officer of the corporation is taken to be the relevant person.

The contaminated land investigation document must also be accompanied by—

for a draft site management plan prepared by a person other than the land’s owner—a statement by the land’s owner agreeing to the draft plan; and

the fee prescribed by regulation.
