Local Council Fact Sheet on Asbestos

The NSW Government has established a central coordination body, the Heads of Asbestos Coordination Authorities (HACA), to improve the management, monitoring and response to asbestos issues by developing coordinated prevention programs.

This provides a minimum standard of information for basic requirements on health effects, safe management, safe removal, safe disposal and who to contact. It also contains a diagram showing where asbestos may be found in a typical home:

Hard copies are available from Council's Customer Services Centre.
