NSW Bushfires
Client: Aboriginal Beata Terra
Scope: Project management asbestos remediation
When catastrophic bushfires swept through Tumbarumba and Batlow in 2020, the impact on homes, infrastructure and lives was severe. Many properties in the area were older buildings, known or suspected to contain asbestos—making recovery efforts not only urgent but high-risk and highly regulated.
Dundee Rock was engaged to provide end-to-end project management and remediation services, with a focus on asbestos assessment and removal. Over 170 homes were assessed and remediated as part of this program. We mobilised quickly, engaging licensed asbestos contractors from around the country and coordinating all aspects of the project, from site inspection and risk assessment to safe removal, waste disposal, and clearance.
Our team worked closely with local authorities, Aboriginal organisations and residents to ensure the works were completed safely, respectfully, and in line with all EPA and WorkSafe requirements—providing peace of mind for homeowners and contributing to community recovery.
