dc.description.abstractBelmont Wetlands State Park was established in 2006 along a coastal strip of sand dunes that had been previously sand mined. The 2010 Plan of Management for the Park included passive recreational activities such as camping, bush walking and educational facilities. A shared walking and cycling pathway, was also proposed to be constructed along a former railway line running adjacent to the Park. Coffey Environments and ANSTO were engaged to investigate the status of legacy tailings from the mine, some of which still remained on the site, and to advise on the management and radiation protection for subsequent remediation works. This paper will discuss the methodology of the site characterisation, the decision making process including engagement with a variety of public and government stakeholders, the remediation techniques implemented, radiation protection and exposure pathway assessments and final status surveys, as a model for environmental management and site remediation containing radiological material in similar settings.en_AU
