Contaminated Site — 8A Carbon Court, Osborne Park
934. Hon ALISON XAMON to the minister representing the Minister for Environment:
I refer to the recent listing of 8A Carbon Court, Osborne Park, as a contaminated site.
(1) Is it required that signs be erected at the property to advise the public that it is a contaminated site?
(2) If yes to (1), who is required to erect those signs?
(3) If no signs are required, how is it anticipated that members of the public can adequately protect themselves from dust and other hazards arising from the contaminated site?
Hon HELEN MORTON replied:
I thank the member for some notice of this question.
(1)–(3) There is no requirement under the Contaminated Sites Act 2003 for signs to be erected to advise the public that the site is contaminated. Asbestos is regulated under the Health Act 1911 and is enforced by local government environmental health officers and the Department of Health.
