Remote communities

In any situation where there is more than the legally allowed 10 square metres of asbestos, or where maintenance involves one metre of friable asbestos, a licensed asbestos removalist must be employed to remove it.

Asbestos disposal sites in remote communities are recorded by the Department of Infrastructure Planning and Environment (DIPE). Contact the Waste and Pollution Management Branch, Office of Environment and Heritage, DIPE on (08) 8924 4139.
