Closure and transition planning
A closure that leaves the site and its region better off.
Virentia brings a key input to closure and transition planning: the site’s next use, and a plan to deliver it. We work with owners of assets nearing end of life, and of land held back by contamination, legacy infrastructure or other encumbrances.
Our technical and construction partners bring the closure and remediation disciplines as required; we bring the next use, its commercial case, development team and the pathway to deliver it with Virentia ReGen.
The earlier we are involved, the more the closure can be shaped around the site’s next use. On an operating site, the final landform and approvals can be designed for that use before closure. On contaminated land, the remediation can be set to the standard that use needs. And the door does not close: we join at any stage, including sites already in rehabilitation.
Five stages of closure and transition planning
Step 1: Asset assessment
Infrastructure, contamination and unaffected land the next use can build on
Step 2: Transition and rehabilitation input
The final landform or remediation standard set once, for the next use
Step 3: Approvals and tenure
The next use written into the closure plan or site management plan, with the approvals it needs
Step 4: Early land release
Unaffected land on the edge of the site to market early
Step 5: Site handover
A sale, a joint venture or transfer to Virentia ReHab
