Asbestos

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was once used in building construction. If inhaled it can cause lung cancer and other serious illnesses.

There are special conditions of development consent imposed by Holroyd Council for demolition, renovation, recladding or brick veneering buildings erected before 1987 due to the possibility of asbestos. This is to ensure the safety of workers and neighbouring residents. Please read Holroyd's Asbestos Cement Policy for details.
