Six more sites test positive for Asbestos

Sydney’s Asbestos crisis has deepened after six more sites returned positive results. They include Westmead Children’s Hospital, Jubilee Park in Glebe, Observatory Hill Park in Miler’s point and Oran Park Fire Station. A garden bed along the Rozelle interchange at Iron Cove Bridge has also tested positive for friable asbestos. The environmental watchdog says removal of the mulch has already begun and is expected to take several days. The Federal Government has commended the state government’s response to the crisis.
