- To provide a forum for the exchange of information and experience on issues related to contaminated land
- To influence the development of good regulation though participation in government and by providing consultation responses to documents produced by Government and other parties.
- To promote good practice and high professionalism and preparing position papers on current issues and events
- To promote an understanding of the interaction of geotechnical and environmental in the assessment of land quality.
