About
History
The Australian Contaminated Land Consultants Association Inc. (ACLCA) was formed in late 1995 to provide a voice to decision makers in Australia and internationally on matters associated with contaminated land management.
The association represents the major environmental consulting firms involved in the assessment and management of contaminated sites in Australia.
Our goals are:
- To provide a forum for member companies to develop, discuss and respond to issues that affect us in our responsible management of contaminated lands;
- To establish and maintain a strong working relationship with regulatory authorities and other related agencies that have an interest in the management of contaminated lands;
- To encourage others to accept ACLCA as the consulting industry's peak representative group on contaminated land issues;
- To assist in the development and maintenance of appropriate industry practices and encourage members to adopt these practices;
- To promote and encourage the open exchange of information between members and other interested bodies;
- To promote an awareness and provide information to outside parties on the professional skills in the area of contaminated land management.
Our Structure
ACLCA currently has branches in New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Queensland and Western Australia. ACLCA has a corporate membership structure, and membership is open to businesses which can demonstrate that their:
- primary business is consulting to external clients; and
- business activities include a substantial practice in land contamination management, with specialist environmental staff employed to perform full-time in the area of land contamination management
Members of ACLCA must be willing to accept and abide by our Code of Practice.
Management Committee
Each branch is supported by a management committee elected from volunteers from member companies.
ACLCA Member Companies
The responsible management of contaminated land, conservation and management of resources, and the improvement of the standards of living including public health are greatly affected by the work of our Members. For our work to be fully effective, it is necessary not only that our Members strive constantly to widen their knowledge and improve their skills, but also that the wider community be willing to recognise the integrity and trust the judgement of our Members. For this to happen, our Association must be recognised in the wider community for: • our skills in using technical expertise in contaminated land management for the enhancement and protection of human and environmental health;• our loyalty to the community, to employees and Clients and to our employees; and• our honesty and impartiality in professional practice.
