A recent contamination outbreak in NSW and Queensland prompted Victoria’s Environment Protection Authority to undertake inspections.
Asbestos is feared to have been found on a freshly redeveloped school oval in Melbourne’s outer east after state railway corporation VicTrack used the site as a temporary car park.
“We have now been informed that potential asbestos-containing debris and other materials have recently been discovered on the oval.” The car park at Belgrave station opened to commuters in December, but the oval had not yet been returned to the government school.The 640-space car park is part of the Allan government’s Car Parks for Commuters program, which involves building 11,000 new spaces, and was VicTrack’s biggest construction project to date, the authority said.“The car park has been quite a challenging site, with rail tracks on one side and a steep hill on the other.
