Three additional sites near Sydney's Rozelle Parklands shut after more asbestos found

More asbestos has been found in recycled mulch at sites close to the Rozelle Parklands in Sydney's inner west, where a newly opened playground was closed earlier in the week. Key points: More than 85 samples of mulch have been analysed for asbestos, with 13 testing positive Transport for NSW says more testing is underway An expert says what is being done is the best way to remediate the problem Traces of bonded asbestos have now been found in three landscaped garden beds adjacent to the road and active transport paths around the junction of the Anzac Bridge, Victoria Road and City West Link, Transport for NSW said in a statement. "Three small sites related to the Rozelle Interchange Project are being closed off to the public today after further samples of recycled mulch returned a positive result for bonded asbestos," TfNSW said. "We still need to take precautions to make certain that we are minimising exposure and asking whether you could potentially have bonded asbestos still containing trace of the fibrous asbestos as well," Professor Naidu said.
