Asbestos

The NSW Government is acting swiftly following the discovery of asbestos in mulch in some sites in NSW.

We have announced an Asbestos Taskforce to support the NSW Environment Protection Authority’s (EPA’s) investigation into asbestos in mulch.

The government’s number one priority is “contact tracing” down the complex supply chain, and then facilitating testing, reporting and management of any positive results.

We have developed a toolkit to help you communicate important information about asbestos and the steps the NSW Government is taking.
