title: Analysis of Australian legislation dealing with contaminated land.
abstract: An analysis of past and present Australian legislation for managing and regulating contaminated sites confirms that such legislation must deal with a number of specific matters. Australian legislation is effective in some of these areas but poor in relation to others. The analysis will assist other countries and jurisdictions to create effective legislation more speedily by avoiding identified problems.
