• Track notifications of audit needs submitted by approved contaminated land auditors.
• Monitor regulatory compliance and site status changes over time based on auditor-submitted data.

Strengths

• Data is maintained by the authoritative Environment Protection Authority (EPA) under legal mandate.
• Available in multiple machine-readable formats including CSV, JSON, XML, and RDF.
• Dataset was last updated in March 2026.

Limitations

• The specific number of sites (rows) and data attributes (columns) are unknown.
• Geographic scope is limited to the Australian Capital Territory.
• Data completeness depends on notifications from approved auditors.
