Works on the new Changing Places facility and public toilet block at Alistair Knox Park have been paused following the discovery of small, bonded (non-friable) asbestos fragments on site.
Alistair Knox Park is a former landfill site. Asbestos fragments that were found were buried and discovered during excavation works for the new path and toilet.
Please be assured they are non-friable, and not considered a risk to users of the park.
Qualified asbestos specialists have been engaged to manage the removal of the fragments and check for further contamination.
The impacted site has been secured with fencing to enable further investigations. Please avoid the fenced off area while these works take place.
