Contaminated Sites Remediation Fund

Aim of the Fund

The Government has made funding available from the Contaminated Sites Remediation Fund to assist regional councils to encourage investigation and remediation of contaminated sites. To qualify, the sites must pose a known or potential risk to human health and the environment within their regions.

Contaminated sites that are posing or likely to pose a high risk to human health, and which are prime candidates for the Contaminated Sites Remediation Fund are those that are:

  • located in environmentally or culturally sensitive areas; or
  • where the landowners do not have the financial resources to undertake the work themselves but want to do something about the problem.

If you would like more information about the Contaminated Sites Remediation Fund please contact funds@mfe.govt.nz.
