Land capability assessments

Land capability assessment reports are site investigations carried out for the installation of septic systems on house sites where reticulated sewerage is not provided – commonly in rural areas.

LCA screens assess any risk of contamination of groundwater and nearby waterways to ensure a residential development does not adversely impact on this water quality.
