Attachment 1—Further advice


Site is listed on the Department of Defence UXO register as a “Substantial” potentially
affected area

1.      Substantial
        A history of numerous UXO finds or heavy residual fragmentation. Areas likely to be
        assessed as substantial include impact areas, demolition sites and areas of heavy explosive
        ordnance dumping.
        Advice
        All land usage may continue without specific UXO search or remediation; however
        development and/or land usage re-zoning proposals for land parcels considered to be
        subject to a substantial UXO should only proceed following the conduct of UXO investigation
        and remediation.
        Refer to the UXO Categorisation Criteria, Warnings and Advice and Site Information pages
        at: www.defence.gov.au/UXO.
        As per the general advice from the Department of Defence, to minimise the risk to human
        health and the environment, the land must be further investigated to fully assess the risks of
        UXO which will inform the decision as to whether remediation is required.
