Asbestos in Brisbane homes
Brisbane's Queenslanders and post-war fibro homes often contain asbestos in wall and eave sheeting, wet areas and under-house linings. Renovations of character homes frequently uncover it behind newer finishes.
Queensland residents are generally permitted to remove small amounts of bonded asbestos themselves, but strict safety and disposal rules apply. Testing first tells you what you are dealing with.
