land^

Priority contaminated
land^

land^
held by the Regional Council or a
Territorial Authority^
, or
would have been the
site*
of an activity identified on the Hazardous Activities and Industries List (Ministry for the Environment, 2004a), including horticulture and sheep dips, and site* investigations have verified that the

is expected to be subject to a change of
land^
use within the next 10 years that is likely to increase the risks to human health or the
environment^
, including where
land^

Policy 3-15
: Management of priority contaminated
land^
Where
land^
use changes are likely to increase the risks to human health or the
environment^
from priority contaminated
land^
(as identified under
Policy 3-14
) the Regional Council and
Territorial Authorities^
must ensure that:
the landowner or
land^
developer fully investigates the extent and degree of contamination prior to the granting of consent allowing development (assistance with investigations may be provided by the Regional Council in some cases),
land^
is made suitable for its intended use through an appropriate level of remediation or management (including engineering) controls, and
land^
remains suitable for its intended use through appropriate monitoring of residual contaminant^ levels and associated risks and through the use of management controls on the activities undertaken on the
land^
.
