NSW asbestos removal laws
ABS Asbestos Removal specialises in the safe removal and disposal of non-friable (bonded) asbestos from residential and commercial properties. NSW law states that only licensed contractors may remove friable asbestos or non-friable asbestos if more than 10 square metres. The council normally requires a licensed asbestos removal contractor to be used for any removal of asbestos when a demolition requires developmental approval.
When removing asbestos in Newcastle it is always advisable to seek the services of a professional asbestos removal service. Something else to consider is that most common insurance policies don’t take responsibility for work relating to asbestos.

How do you know if it’s asbestos or not?
Whether or not a material contains asbestos can’t be discerned by just looking at it. Newcastle council recommend that you treat all fibro sheets as if they contain asbestos until they are tested. That is why, before undertaking any work, we identify and test potential asbestos materials. All our samples are lab tested by NATA-accredited analysts. This gives you peace of mind that your safety is our utmost concern. According to Asbestos In NSW, 1 in 3 homes contains asbestos.
Asbestos fibres are 50 to 100x thinner than human hair. You cannot see or smell it, and it looks different depending on the materials it is mixed with. If your property is pre-1990, the likelihood is that it has asbestos-containing materials. You can use the NSW asbestos checker to help identify whether you have asbestos in your property.
If asbestos-containing materials are not damaged and are in good condition, they generally pose a low risk. If you suspect damage or want to renovate, it is recommended to contact a licensed asbestos removal professional. They can identify, remove and dispose of asbestos safely. ABS Asbestos Removal has an excellent reputation for asbestos removal in the Central Coast, Newcastle, Hunter Valley and Lake Macquarie.
Asbestos use in Australia
Did you know that asbestos was used in over 3000 building products in Australia until it was banned?
This is one of the reasons Australia has one of the highest rates of asbestos-related disease in the world. It also has one of the highest rates of mesothelioma, with between 700 and 800 people diagnosed with it each year.
Asbestos kills more than 4000 people each year!
Although asbestos-containing products were phased out in the 1980s, it wasn’t banned until 2003.
One of the problems of asbestos exposure is that many of the associated health risks usually develop 20-40 years after the initial exposure.
The National Library of Medicine reported that 16,679 people were newly diagnosed with malignant mesothelioma between 1982 and 2016, with 84% of cases occurring in men.
If a commercial property was built before 2004, it must have an asbestos register. This register includes:
- Identified or suspected asbestos in the building
- Date, location and type of asbestos found
- Condition of the asbestos
Planning to Demolish or Renovate a Commercial Building?
Here’s what you must know about asbestos registers:
- Get a copy of the asbestos register before starting any demolition or refurbishment work.
- This applies even if you’re only doing minor work that might disturb asbestos.
- Buildings built before 2004 without a register? Assume asbestos is present.
In this case, always consult a licensed asbestos removal expert to inspect the materials.
