The contaminated land at Hunters Hill will soon be cleaned up following the approval of the NSW Government’s proposal to remove legacy radiological and chemical waste from the site to be shipped overseas to Idaho, USA.
The Government’s proposal to dispose of the contaminated soil had received overwhelming support from the local community and Hunters Hill Council during the recent public exhibition period, Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Rob Stokes said.
The proposal resulted from years of extensive and complex investigation to find the best solution for the community, the Minister said.
“The Hunters Hill site has a legacy of radiological and chemical contamination from industrial activity in the late 1800s to early 1900s and we needed to clean up the land but also find a suitable location to send the waste.”
