Major RESIDENTIAL REDEVELOPMENT, (Quattro), former Queens Park, City of Canning, Western Australia

A former residential estate in Queens Park, Cannington, is being redeveloped for ongoing residential use.  Consultants have been appointed to undertake investigation of impacts arising from the former
residential development and it’s subsequent demolition.  A Contaminated Site Audit (CSA) is being undertaken on behalf of the site owner, to support an application for rezoning at a higher residential density.
 
The former residences have been demolished.  Site impacts have been identified including:

• organo-chlorine/phosphate (OCP) herbicides in soils beneath the former footings
• potential metals, hydrocarbons and nutrients in former septic systems, and
• asbestos in/on soils from the removal of fencing. 

The area will developed in three stages. An initial trial area has been remediated and is currently undergoing additional validation works.  Two further stages are currently being investigated, including soil
and potential groundwater impacts. 

A Site Management Plan (SMP) is in development for the remaining stages.  

A voluntary Site Audit Report (SAR) will be prepared for each stage to accompany consultant reports and to provide recommendations for appropriate site classification to the Department of  Environment and Conservation (DEC).
