If Council receives a call from a concerned neighbour about the state of asbestos on your roof then we will usually pay you a visit to have a look at it. If the roof is visibly damaged to the extent that it is deemed a risk to public health, then we can issue an order to repair/replace the damaged sheet/s. Rest assured, we are not the asbestos police checking out your property on the sly… our investigations are complaint driven and our assessments are based on visual damage only.
In the interest of your family’s health and safety, it is always encouraged that asbestos-containing products in poor condition be repaired/removed, preferably by an appropriately licensed professional.
