Property on the EMR or CLR? What to do next
Understand what a Queensland EMR or CLR listing can mean, what it does not necessarily mean, and which professional roles may become relevant.
Why are you searching?
Purchase, sale, development, subdivision, register issue, suspected contamination, remediation or a regulatory/planning request.
Identify the professional type
A contaminated-land consultant/SQP and an independent approved auditor perform different functions.
Prepare useful information
Site history, lot/plan, previous reports, known activities, register information and the outcome you need can improve an enquiry.
Build a clearer enquiry
Write down what triggered the issue, the site’s past use, register/search information, reports already available and the decision or approval you need.
Provide the property location, trigger, existing information and the outcome you need so the enquiry can be structured clearly.
Is this issue affecting a real property or development?
You do not need to know the technical term. Start with what happened, the property location and any wording or document you already have.
