Ourimbah: worth knowing before you renovate

In December 2020, NBN News reported, a Central Coast man was fined for dumping asbestos in Ourimbah State Forest and had to clean up the site. Ourimbah was also among the places with the largest power outages when a storm cell hit on 8 January 2018. In 1889 McQuoid's grant was subdivided into 68 farming blocks along Ourimbah Creek. We can ask a licensed asbestos removalist to call you.

There’s a legal way to get rid of asbestos, and it isn’t a state forest. A homeowner who takes the right precautions may remove as much as 10 square metres of bonded asbestos; anything bigger, or any friable asbestos, needs a licensed removalist (Central Coast Council). Whoever removes it, the waste goes to a landfill that takes asbestos, securely packed and booked in ahead, never into a kerbside bin or the bush (NSW EPA). Moving it in an open trailer isn’t allowed either: it has to be covered.

Give us the basics when you call: what it is, whether it’s on the house, a shed or out in the yard, and how much of it there is. Say whether pieces are broken or loose. If you live in a townhouse or semi (22.7% of Ourimbah’s occupied homes were semis, terraces or townhouses in 2021), say that too.
