Cultural Heritage includes aspects such as archaeology, historic buildings, designed landscapes, historical connections, ethnicity, craft activities, customs and traditions, belief systems and sacred space. Cultural Heritage plays a powerful role in many communities, and any development or regeneration scheme requires conservation-based, informed analysis of the historic environment, and appropriate management plans for sustainability. The recording and retention of historic features and integration with public realm contribute to the potential success of new developments.

360 Environmental provides air and water quality assessment and management capabilities across all stages of projects from planning, construction, operations through to decommissioning and emergency response. Air and water quality sampling and analysis programs are an important part of understanding the environment prior, during and post development. If impacts are not understood or managed correctly, soil, water and air quality levels can alter such that emissions (particulate levels and contaminants, including asbestos) and discharges (contaminates, turbidity levels, pH and/or nutrient levels) can result in environmental impacts. Air and water quality data are often an integral component of the community consultation process, providing stakeholders with confidence that there are no real environmental or health risks.

Contaminated land is largely a symptom of historical land use(s), often resulting from industrial, agricultural and mining activities, and the manufacture, use and disposal of chemicals. Whilst the Environmental Protection Act 1986 provides for the prevention, control and abatement of pollution and environmental harm, and for the conservation, preservation, protection, enhancement and management of the environment, the need for legislation specifically addressing contaminated site assessment and management was needed. Public concern regarding the health risks associated with the redevelopment of land formerly used for waste disposal, industrial or commercial purposes, triggered the Contaminated Sites Act 2003 and related legislation (including the Contaminated Sites Regulations 2006) to identify, manage and remediate contaminated land.
