The NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) investigation into asbestos contaminated mulch has returned a positive result for a construction site at Westmead Children’s Hospital.
The area is not open to the public and is fenced off.
This brings the total number of positive sites up to 54.
Testing at the sites has been done by the EPA, councils and property owners. The EPA will work closely with them to provide advice around remediation.
