The NSW Government announced in April 2021 the determination of a proposal to clean up contaminated land at Nelson Parade, Hunters Hill.
Central to the determination is an agreement to transport all contaminated material from Nelson Parade to a licensed facility in the United States of America.
The Hunters Hill Remediation project relates to three Government owned properties at 7-11 Nelson Parade, Hunters Hill. The properties are contaminated as a result of previous industrial activities that operated on the site in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s.
Property NSW had previously proposed to excavate the contaminated soil and transport it to a licensed landfill at Kemps Creek in Western Sydney.

The remediation project is expected to take up to 12 months in total. Works are scheduled to commence in 2021 and includes site preparation and remediation works, with the transport of material from the site taking up to four months.
