Terrigal: worth knowing before you renovate

In the week of 28 August 2018, Central Coast Council and environmental consultants dug test pits and monitored air quality along Terrigal and Wamberal beaches, under the Council's risk management plan for asbestos-containing material there. In Terrigal's older seaside subdivision, the character statement says, modest holiday cottages are rapidly giving way to apartments and townhouses. Talk to us, and we'll connect you with a licensed asbestos removalist.

Knocking down or gutting an older cottage? Find out what’s in it before demolition starts. Have suspect sheeting, floor coverings and eaves tested (asbestos testing). A licence is a legal requirement for friable asbestos of any amount, and for a bonded job over 10 square metres; SafeWork NSW recommends a licensed removalist even below that (SafeWork NSW). Allow time in your schedule for testing and removal before the builders arrive.

The more you can tell us, the smoother the first conversation. Which building is it, and which parts are you worried about? How big, roughly, and in what condition? Is it an apartment or townhouse with shared areas, or a stand-alone house? Say whether the cottage is still lived in. If you have a demolition date, give us that too. Photos are welcome, as long as nothing is disturbed to take them.
