Materials that contain asbestos

If you think you have materials that may contain asbestos, you will have to arrange to have these tested by a professional.

You can find a list of accredited asbestos testing services by visiting the IANZ website directory and searching under 'asbestos'.

This will help you decide how to handle the materials.

Please note that Council does not provide an asbestos testing service.
