Importance of DA Compliance

Achieving environmental compliance during the DA process is critical for avoiding delays, additional costs and regulatory issues. Metech Consulting provides comprehensive support by identifying and managing contamination risks, fulfilling council conditions of consent, and ensuring successful development outcomes.

Our Comprehensive DA Compliance Services

Metech Consulting offers an extensive range of services tailored specifically to support the DA compliance needs of developers and builders:

• Preliminary Site Investigations (PSI): Identification of the likelihood for a property to be affected by contamination that may be significant enough to impact land suitability for a proposed development or change in use, and to determine whether more detailed investigation is needed.
• Detailed Site Investigations (DSI): Comprehensive environmental assessments to assess whether a property is affected by any potentially significant contamination that may need to be managed as part of the development to mitigate risk and enable the land to be made suitable for its intended use.
• Remedial Action Plans (RAP): Strategic development of remediation methodologies to address identified contamination risks and comply with regulatory conditions.
• Waste Classifications & VENM Certifications: Classification of site soils and fill materials requiring removal from a property as part of the development, which can facilitate either landfill disposal or beneficial reuse.
