meet the facilitator

Anna Lundmark is an environmental scientist with over 20 years of experience in the contaminated land field. She is a Certified Site Contamination Specialist under the CEnvP scheme and a certified change practitioner under Prosci. Anna started her career as a consultant undertaking contaminated land assessments and reviewing technical reports for a site auditor. Nowadays she has a focus on supporting local government managing contaminated land through capacity building, inhouse technical support and preparing tools and templates for policies, systems and procedures. She works with various levels of government to achieve this goal, and created Council CLM Central to meet the need for consistent, structured capacity building currently not addressed by other initiatives available to councils.

As the facilitator, Anna also brings in industry experts as needed to address councils' needs in contaminated land management.
