Environment—former petrol station sites
(Question No 284)
Mrs Jones asked the Minister for the Environment and Sustainable Development, upon notice, on 13 May 2014:
(1) When did the remediation process for the vacant former petrol station site in Chapman begin.
(2) When will the remediation for this site be completed.
(3) When will re-development for this site commence.
(4) What is the expected completion date of this re-development.
Mr Corbell: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) Remediation commenced in March 2011 with the demolition of the building structures at the site. Soil remediation commenced following the removal of the fuel storage infrastructure in December 2012.
(2) Remediation of hydrocarbon impacts to soil at the site was completed in September 2013. Following validation works the independent Auditor issued his statutory Site Audit Statement, into the suitability of the site for the then proposed development, in December 2013. The Environment Protection Authority (EPA) endorsed the findings of this audit in December 2013.
Subsequent to the issuance of the December 2013 audit the site developer proposed a change to the development footprint of the site. As required by the conditions of the December 2013 audit, a subsequent review of the suitability of the site for this development was undertaken by the Auditor. The findings of this audit are expected to be submitted to the EPA for review and endorsement in mid to late 2014.
(3) On 4 March 2014 a development application was approved for the construction of twenty-four units with basement car parking. In accordance with the conditions of this approval, it will not take effect, until the lessee receives the final endorsement of the independent Auditors statutory Site Audit Statement from the EPA.
(4) The lessee will have two years to construct the development from the date that the approval takes effect.
