Join Australasian Land and Groundwater Association, and the Sustainable Engineering Society – Engineers Australia networking breakfast for a unique opportunity to explore the future of sustainable contaminated land remediation. The panel of industry legends will discuss the principles of sustainable remediation, including the Australian Standard AS ISO 18504:2022, and examine how contaminated land and sustainability are addressed in Australasian legislation. The conversation will delve into infrastructure sustainability ratings under the Infrastructure Sustainability Council (ISC) and their contaminated land criteria, with real-world examples from major SEQ infrastructure projects. Speakers will also explore the challenges of applying sustainability standards, the regulatory landscape, and the benefits of value engineering in contaminated land management. Sponsored by BG&E and Tetra Tech Coffey, this event brings together leading professionals to share insights, strategies, and practical solutions for driving sustainability in land remediation.

Learning outcomes:
