Land Capability Assessment (In accordance with EPA guidelines)

If the property or dwelling you intend to develop cannot be connected to a reticulated sewer system, the council will generally require a Land Capability Assessment (LCA) to assess if the residential or commercial site can handle all wastewater within its boundaries in a sustainable way. 

We provide land capability assessments in accordance with Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) requirements, for residential and commercial projects to identify important site features and soil characteristics that could impact the proposed development. Our LCA assessment include a percolation tests to evaluate soil absorption rates, analyzing site characteristics such as topography, climate, vegetation, and the physical and chemical properties of the soil, recommending effluent disposal techniques based on the water balance method and providing advice on options for effluent disposal, including absorption trenches, subsurface and surface irrigation.
