Alterations, Renovations and Demolition

Asbestos and asbestos related products can be highly dangerous with potential fatal, long term consequences if handled incorrectly.

Asbestos may be found in many homes depending on their age and in many different forms.  Renovations in any way, or demolition of structures MUST only be undertaken after a Risk Assessment to determine if asbestos products may have been used in the structure.

In this regard, Council approval is required prior to any demolition works being carried out.  The handling of asbestos in NSW is regulated by WorkCover NSW and removal MUST only be carried out by persons licenced by WorkCover NSW.

Should any demolition works be proposed, contact MUST be made with Council prior to the commencement of the works to obtain details of the approvals required to be obtained.
