Wamberal: worth knowing before you renovate

In September 2020, Central Coast Council said its inspectors had collected more than 720 fragments that may contain asbestos from Wamberal Beach in August alone, against just over 400 in all of 2019. Along a Wamberal lagoon foreshore, the Council's character statement notes traditional single-storey coastal fibro beside newer brick homes. Let us know, and a licensed asbestos removalist can ring you back.

In the 1950s, Copacabana developers Willmore and Randell promoted the Wamberal Township Estate subdivision, the Council's 2024 thematic history says.

The Council’s word “fibro” describes a style of house; it isn’t a test result. If you own one and plan to reclad or replace it, get samples tested first (asbestos testing). The council’s asbestos page sets the limit for owners at 10 square metres of bonded asbestos, removed with the right precautions; beyond that, or for anything friable, you need a licensed removalist (Central Coast Council). After a big storm, look the walls and eaves over from the ground rather than climbing up.

Tell us what’s there and where: an outside wall, a carport, the eaves. Rough dimensions are plenty. If any of it is broken or has come loose, say so. And if you’ve already had a test, have the result handy. Planning a knock-down to build a bigger house? Mention that too, with a rough start date.
