QUEANBEYAN Council has agreed to notify home buyers in the Queanbeyan area if they are purchasing a property known to contain Mr Fluffy loose-fill asbestos.
The Council will include information about the use of loose fill asbestos in the Queanbeyan area on Section 149 certificates, which are issued by councils and provide information about planning restrictions on blocks of land.
A 149 certificate is required to be attached as part of the conveyancing documentation when contracts are exchanged on any land sold in NSW and provides information which is available to a prospective purchaser.
This process will remain in place until the NSW Government introduces its own legislation as to notification requirements around the presence of loose-fill asbestos in homes.
