Contaminated Land Management refers to the various frameworks by which contaminated land is assessed and remediated such as under the NSW EPA Contaminated Land Act 1997, or by which sites are assessed as part of land-use change or Development Applications (DAs), specifically under State Environmental Planning Policy No. 55 (SEPP 55).

As part of a DA, planning authorities may request a site is formally assessed for contamination by a suitably qualified consultant which involves: a site investigation and assessment of any impacts on the natural environment, considering any legislative instruments and policies such as SEPPs, Local Environment Plans (LEPs), and National Environment Protection Measures (NEPMs).

There are different levels, or phases, of investigation requirements depending on specific circumstances. One, some, or all of the below services may be required depending on proposed land use, government regulations, and the findings or results of the initial assessments, such as a Preliminary Site Investigation (PSI).
