During this period, it will be ‘business as usual’, however, to comply with our Election Period Policy and the Local Government Act 2020, there are restrictions on the kinds of decisions that can be made, and the information that we can communicate to the public. For example, we can't open community consultations. This is to ensure Council actions don't influence voting in the election.

Asbestos was commonly used in the manufacture of residential building materials from the mid-1940s until the late 1980s.
There is a lot of misconception of the dangers actually surrounding the inhalation of asbestos.
Provided the asbestos is dealt with in a safe manner, it is of very little danger to health.
While a building permit is not required for the removal of asbestos, there is a legal responsibility when building or renovating to ensure asbestos is safely removed and disposed of.
Visit Asbestos Victoria to learn how you can identify and manage asbestos and locate resources for the management and removal of asbestos from a building site.
