Blue Mountains City Council maintains asbestos registers (“registers”) and asbestos management plans (“plans”) relating to each of the buildings owned or occupied by the Council. The registers and plans record information about the existence and location of any known or presumed asbestos containing materials (“ACM”) within those buildings.
The Council’s governing body has adopted the Council’s corporate Asbestos Policy, which is available on our website.
The registers and plans are in two forms. First, the Council maintains a corporate asbestos register and a corporate asbestos management plan. Second, the Council has prepared individual registers and individual plans for each building that contains or may contain ACM. Hardcopies of those individual registers and plans are held in the building concerned.
Whenever work is carried out on a Council building the hardcopy register and the hardcopy plan are each amended by hand, as required. This action ensures that Council employees or contractors who work from time to time within that building have access to accurate information about the ACM that it contains or may contain.
The electronic versions of each of the corporate plans and registers, and of the plans and registers for individual buildings, are periodically updated. However, the key documents are the hardcopy registers and the hardcopy plans for each building which must be inspected before any work is carried out on that building.
NOTES:
(1) The Council’s electronic registers and plans ARE NOT to be relied upon as definitive records and ARE NOT to be used for reference purposes for any construction, demolition, maintenance or any other onsite works. IN ALL CASES, the onsite hardcopy building specific asbestos register and building specific asbestos management plan MUST BE CONSULTED prior to the commencement of physical works on the building concerned. While the electronic versions of the Council’s registers and plans provide guidance concerning the presence or possible presence of ACM it is the onsite hardcopy registers and plans which will remain up to date.
(2) The Council's electronic registers and plans relate to Council owned or managed buildings. The electronic registers and plans do not relate to structures (such as picnic shelters, bus shelters and other freestanding structures). Before any work is carried out on such structures the Council's Hazardous Materials Team ("HMT") MUST BE CONSULTED. The HMT may be contacted at council@bmcc.nsw.gov.au. The HMT will provide information concerning any ACM that may be present in the structure concerned.
