Need a contamination report?
The phrase “contamination report” can mean different things. Send us the request, property issue or existing document and start by identifying the right professional pathway before commissioning the wrong scope.
You don’t need to know which specialist to call.
Tell us what happened: buying or selling a property, a development application, an EMR/CLR issue, a council or regulator request, suspected contamination, an existing report — or simply that you’re not sure.
Start with the requirement. LandNexa provides information, enquiry triage and specialist discovery — not environmental, legal, planning or regulatory advice.
Already been told you need a contamination report?
Upload the council notice, planning condition, environmental requirement or other document you received. You do not need to work out which investigation or specialist you need before contacting LandNexa.

What triggered the need?
Property purchase or sale, development, subdivision, planning conditions, register information, suspected contamination, remediation or another project requirement.
Clarify the required outcome
The right investigation or report depends on the site history, available evidence, proposed land use and the decision that needs to be made.
Find the right specialist
LandNexa helps structure the enquiry so relevant contaminated-land professionals can understand the property, trigger and likely scope.
What is a contamination report?
“Contamination report” is commonly used as a broad description for environmental reporting about actual or potential contamination at a site. The appropriate scope may involve site-history review, inspection, sampling, laboratory analysis, risk assessment or further investigation depending on the circumstances.
Before requesting quotes, identify who asked for the report and what decision the report needs to support. That information can materially change the scope.
What should you have ready?
Useful information can include the property address and lot/plan, proposed use or development, historical land uses, EMR/CLR or other register information, planning correspondence, previous environmental reports and any known spills, tanks, fill or potentially contaminating activities.
You do not need to diagnose the site yourself. A concise factual brief helps a professional determine what investigation may be appropriate.
Contamination report, PSI or DSI?
A Preliminary Site Investigation generally focuses on understanding site history and potential contamination sources. A Detailed Site Investigation may involve more detailed sampling and assessment where further investigation is warranted. “Contamination report” can be used less precisely, so the trigger and required outcome should be clarified rather than assuming the terminology alone defines the scope.
