Response To Asbestos 8 April 4pm Update

EPA has continued its investigations into the source of mulch delivered to impacted parks today.

EPA expects testing results from the weekend's inspections of parks across Hobsons Bay City Council and Merri-Bek City Council to be available late in the afternoon, on Tuesday 9 April.

EPA is writing to all Victorian councils asking them to assess quality controls for landscaping works and supply contracts for garden mulch, and to demolition companies reminding them of their environmental compliance obligations in relation to asbestos management during demolition works.
