Yallah maintenance works As part of its commitment to maintaining assets and essential infrastructure, Council plans to undertake important maintenance work to Bridge 2 (a single span bridge) along Yallah Bay Road, Yallah, adjacent to and at the northern end of Tallawarra Power Station. The project includes concrete repairs, cathodic protection and protective coating of the bridge. The improvements will protect the existing road bridge, extend its service life and maintain safe public access to the area. Repairs will commence in Autumn 2017 to coincide with a

proposed power station shut down (exact scheduling still to be determined) and take approximately 4 months to complete, subject to tides and weather conditions. During construction, the bridge will be open to traffi c, but occasional traffi c control may be required. Access to the eastern pedestrian lake-side bridge, cycleway and boat ramp will be maintained throughout.

Thinking about renovations? Think about asbestos If you are thinking about renovating, you must think about asbestos. It is important for home owners and renovators to be aware of how to safely manage asbestos in and around the home.

As part of the Asbestos Awareness month, Council will provide blue lamingtons on:• 2 November at Council’s Administration Centre at

41 Burelli Street, from 10am–12noon, or till lamingtons run out.• 3 November at Bunnings Warehouse, Warrawong, from

9.30am–12noon, or till lamingtons run out.

Before renovating, you need to be aware of the dangers of asbestos that could be found in and around your home. Asbestos was used in building materials before the mid-1980s. If your house was built or renovated before the mid-1980s, it is likely to contain asbestos cement building materials.

Asbestos Awareness month aims to stop people from placing their health and the health of families at risk, with a Get to kNOw Asbestos this November campaign.

Visit asbestosawareness.com.au or call our Customer Service Team on (02) 4227 7111. Fact sheets about asbestos and health risks can be found at asbestosawareness.com.au.
