Contam Solutions directly undertakes council notice remediation and drug-contaminated property remediation for properties subject to a council notice, clean-up notice, public health order, prohibition notice or order, no-entry restriction or other authority requirement relating to methamphetamine or clandestine drug laboratory contamination.
We review the notice or order, the independent testing information and any Remediation Action Plan (RAP), then directly carry out the remediation works required within our scope. Where the project requires additional labour or specialist licensed trades, those resources are engaged directly by Contam Solutions and identified transparently in the quotation and project scope.
Contam Solutions provides the remediation records, photographs and supporting project documentation required to demonstrate that the remediation works have been completed. The property owner or their representative then submits this documentation, together with the independent validation report and any other information required by the relevant council or authority, so the notice or order can be reviewed and, where the authority is satisfied, lifted, varied or removed.
Send us the notice or order, together with any independent testing report or RAP. We can review the council remediation requirements, identify the work involved and prepare a clear scope and quotation.
Property owners may become aware of contamination following a police raid, council inspection, independent testing, tenant-related investigation or other regulatory involvement that triggers council or authority action. In practice, this may lead to a council notice, prohibition order or another property restriction.
Depending on the circumstances, the relevant authority may issue a notice or order that limits use, occupation or reoccupation of the property until investigation, remediation, independent validation and required documentation have been completed.
Calling us is you first step so that we can advise you on your next steps.
We utilise appropriate disposal packages to guarantee that the environment and the property are not contaminated.
Contam Solutions reviews the notice or order together with the independent testing information, any RAP and any forms, questions or reporting requirements issued by the council or authority.
This information is used to define the remediation scope, identify the work Contam Solutions must complete and determine whether additional labour or specialist trades are required.
Council notices and orders can include remediation deadlines or require the property owner to demonstrate that investigation and remediation are actively progressing.
Contam Solutions can provide quotations, scopes of works, project schedules, progress updates, photographs and other council remediation documentation to demonstrate that the required remediation has been scoped, commissioned or is underway.
Where the council or authority provides a specific form, questionnaire or remediation-completion document, Contam Solutions can complete the sections relevant to the remediation work undertaken by us and provide the supporting records required for the owner’s submission.
Some remediation projects require specialist work outside the direct contamination-cleaning scope. This can include air-conditioning removal, electrical works, plumbing, specialist demolition or other licensed trade services.
Where these services are required, Contam Solutions directly engages suitably qualified and insured contractors to undertake the work. The need for specialist trades, and the work they will perform, is identified transparently in the quotation and project scope before the project proceeds.
Following completion of the remediation works, independent post-remediation testing is undertaken by a suitably qualified occupational hygienist or testing provider.
Once the required results meet the relevant Australian standards, the independent testing provider issues the appropriate validation or clearance documentation.
Contam Solutions then provides its remediation records, photographs and supporting project documentation so the property owner or their representative has the remediation documentation for council or authority submission, together with the independent validation or clearance documentation issued by the testing provider.
If post-remediation testing identifies areas that do not meet the relevant Australian standards, Contam Solutions re-attends the property and undertakes further remediation of those areas before independent re-testing.
This process continues as required until the independent testing outcome supports the required validation documentation.
Once the remediation works, independent validation and required documentation have been completed, the property owner or their representative submits the documentation package to the relevant council or authority for review of the notice or order.
The remediation documentation prepared by Contam Solutions forms part of the evidence used to demonstrate that the required works have been completed. The independent validation report confirms the post-remediation testing outcome.
The decision to vary, lift or remove the notice or order remains with the council or issuing authority.
Specialist remediation for properties affected by illicit drug manufacture or laboratory activity.
Structured cleaning and property recovery for severe hoarding and complex occupancy conditions.
Discreet specialist cleaning for trauma, bodily fluids and other biohazard contamination.
Requirements, terminology, documentation and timeframes can vary between councils and other authorities. Terms may include council notice, clean-up notice, public health order, prohibition notice or order, remediation notice or other property restriction. Contam Solutions reviews the specific authority documents, testing information and supporting material issued for the property before preparing the remediation scope.
Our methamphetamine remediation work is undertaken in general accordance with the Australian Government Clandestine Drug Laboratory Remediation Guidelines (2011) and the Australian Voluntary Code of Practice – Assessment, Remediation and Validation of Former Clandestine Drug Laboratory Sites and Other Methamphetamine Contaminated Properties (2019).
Where an authority imposes additional property-specific requirements, those requirements are reviewed and incorporated into the project scope where they relate to the remediation work undertaken by Contam Solutions.
If your property is subject to a council notice or order, send us as much of the following information as you have:
We can review this information before quoting so we understand both the remediation requirements and the documentation the authority expects to receive.
Contam Solutions directly plans, runs and manages remediation projects across Australia using our own staff and additional labour engaged by Contam Solutions where required.
Where specialist licensed work is required, Contam Solutions directly engages suitably qualified and insured contractors, including air-conditioning, electrical, plumbing and specialist demolition contractors where applicable.
Contam Solutions undertakes the remediation work but does not independently validate its own completed remediation. Initial assessment and post-remediation testing are undertaken independently by appropriately qualified testing providers.
Our remediation work is undertaken in general accordance with relevant Australian guidance, including the Australian Government Clandestine Drug Laboratory Remediation Guidelines and, for methamphetamine-contaminated properties, the Australian Voluntary Code of Practice.
We provide the remediation records, photographs, progress information and completed council remediation documentation relating to our work that the property owner or their representative may need to submit to the relevant council or authority.
We understand the sensitivity of drug-contaminated properties and regulatory action. Our teams work discreetly and professionally, using unbranded vehicles where appropriate to protect client and property confidentiality.
Our quotations identify the proposed remediation work, methodology, costs, specialist contractor requirements and any proposed variation from an existing RAP. Supporting project documentation and photographs are provided as part of the completed project records.
The exact requirements vary by property and issuing authority, but the typical process is:
The client provides the independent property assessment, testing report, any RAP and the council notice, clean-up notice, public health order, prohibition notice or order, no-entry restriction or other authority documentation.
Contam Solutions reviews the contamination findings, authority requirements, property access and any RAP, then identifies the remediation resources, additional labour and specialist trades required.
We provide a clear quotation detailing the proposed remediation scope, methodology and costs. Any proposed RAP variation and any specialist contractor requirements are identified before work begins.
Contam Solutions deploys and manages the remediation team, equipment, chemicals and materials required and directly undertakes the agreed remediation works. Additional labour is engaged and managed by Contam Solutions where required.
Following completion of the remediation works, an independent testing provider undertakes the required post-remediation sampling and laboratory analysis.
If any tested areas do not meet the relevant Australian standards, Contam Solutions re-attends and undertakes further remediation before the affected areas are independently re-tested.
Once the required independent validation documentation has been issued, Contam Solutions provides its remediation records, photographs and completed project documentation. The property owner or their representative then submits the required package to the council or authority for review.
