FAQs
Is there any contamination at Glenfield?
Like many sites across Greater Sydney with historical uses, some contaminants have been located.
Our environmental consultant’s initial investigations found that the contamination can be safely managed and the land remediated to support future residential, commercial and recreational uses.
How will any contamination be managed?
Remediation of contaminants will be carried out in stages; Stage 1 will be to remove existing buildings and remediate soil to clear the site ready for future development located on the eastern side. This work will take place from 2025.
Stage 2 will be to remediate the soil on the western side. This work will be carried out from 2026.
All remediation works will be overseen by an environmental consultant and approved by an independent site auditor appointed by the NSW Environment Protection Authority, including relevant development works approvals as needed.
Are you demolishing any buildings on site?
To prepare the site for future development, all existing buildings and structures located on Landcom’s land will be removed. None of these buildings are heritage listed, and none are required for the ongoing operations of the adjacent schools.
What monitoring will be in place?
During demolition and remediation work, air and dust monitors will be installed close to work areas to monitor for dust. If there are any concerns with air monitor readings, there will be protocols in place to stop work, secure any contaminated areas and notify SafeWork NSW.
What impact will remediation works have on the community?
During works, the community, including school students, will be safe to continue normal routines, including keeping windows open and walking past the site.
