Update: Public Notification - Potential non-friable asbestos in landscaped areas under investigation, Kenwick, Thornlie & Canning Vale
During recent site inspections, small fragments of asbestos-containing material have been identified within discrete locations in landscaped areas at the Project site.
The small fragments of asbestos-containing materials are bonded (non-friable) and a range of steps are now being implemented to further investigate and remediate the areas and ensure no risks to human health.
An independent professional Licensed Asbestos Assessor (LAA) has determined the extent of the observed small fragments is minor across the site and the risk to human health is very low.
Our response
Relevant regulators have been notified, and we are working with them to ensure all necessary precautions are being taken.
As a precaution, the potentially affected landscaped areas have been fenced off with signage to restrict access whilst the investigation is undertaken.
As the investigation progresses, areas found to contain these materials will be remediated. While the independent LAA identified the materials as low risk, the project is taking this action to ensure these materials contained within the fenced off areas are removed.
Fencing and signage will be removed in stages once an area has been certified by an independent professional LAA as clear from bonded (non-friable) asbestos-containing materials.
How this occurred
Investigations are underway to assess the small fragments and how they got into the landscaped areas.
What this means for your health
The small fragments identified are in a bonded condition, so any potential risk to the public from inhalation of airborne fibres is considered very low.
Actions taken
As noted above, a range of pro-active steps are being taken to manage the situation:
- As a precaution, the potentially affected areas are being fenced off with signage to restrict access whilst we undertake further investigations.
- A Licensed Asbestos Assessor (LAA) has been engaged to oversee investigation of the Project site.
- Specialists have been engaged to complete the removal of bonded (non-friable) asbestos-containing material with the utmost care and will be working in personal protective equipment (PPE) in accordance with WA regulations.
What we ask of the local community
Please do not access the fenced / flagged off areas for the time being.
