Contaminated Sites Act 2003

The CEO may from time to time make, amend or revoke guidelines with respect to —

the assessment, management and reporting of contaminated sites;

the identification and classification of contaminated sites; and

community consultation regarding contaminated sites.

The CEO is to ensure that a copy of the guidelines, in an up to date form —

is available for inspection by members of the public during office hours free of charge; and

is made available to members of the public in any manner the CEO thinks fit.

If there is an inconsistency between a guideline and a regulation, the regulation prevails to the extent of that inconsistency.

The CEO is to cause to be published in the Gazette notice of the making, amendment or revocation of guidelines, but notices under this subsection need not include the text of guidelines or the amendments.

Guidelines are not subsidiary legislation for the purposes of the Interpretation Act 1984.
