This notification is to advise that, as part of the refurbishment and re-cladding works on the Garage located within the Ilam (Waiutuutu) Community Gardens, Class B Asbestos removal will be undertaken between 7am and 5pm on Monday 9 June.

Inspections and testing have revealed that the current external cement cladding contains asbestos and will therefore need to be removed by a specialist WorkSafe Licensed Asbestos Removal Contractor. This is low risk work and should only take one (1) day to complete.

Following the asbestos removal, the FM Building team will commence the recladding of the garage with non-asbestos cladding.

Access to the community garden will be restricted, with fencing in place, from today Friday 6 June until completion of the work. There will be no access to the seating areas near the garage during this time.

Please do not enter any restricted or fenced off work areas and find alternative seating and eating areas until works are completed.

Thank you for your consideration as these required removal works are undertaken.
