24.01.2022 November is Asbestos Awareness Month. Asbestos products can be found in ANY Australian home built or renovated before 1987 - including brick, weatherboard, fibro and clad homes. Cumberland City Council created a handy website which aims to answer common questions councils field on the subject of asbestos. For what to do locally, you need to clarify any concerns with your local council. #asbestosawareness #westernsydney
