Hundreds of Sydney sites flagged in asbestos mulch fallout Hundreds of sites across Sydney have been flagged as potentially having mulch contaminated with asbestos, according to the New South Wales premier, Chris Minns. When asked why the NSW environment watchdog had not shut all parks and other developments where possibly contaminated mulch had been traced to, Minns said the resources needed would be too great.
He said: I’m sorry to say but the truth of the matter is the number of properties can be very large right across Sydney. Not every place, not every project, park has tested positive to asbestos but to lock every single park up or school or hospital would be beyond our resources right now. He confirmed hundreds of sites had been flagged by the Environment Protection Authority as part of the investigation so far.
