Many properties across Hervey Bay and surrounding Fraser Coast suburbs built between the 1950s and late 1980s were constructed during a period when asbestos materials were commonly used in roofing, wall sheeting, fencing and wet areas.Â
If you are planning renovations, extensions or demolition work on an older property in Torquay, Scarness, or Maryborough, it is important to confirm whether asbestos is present before any work begins.

Many homes in Hervey Bay built or renovated before 1990, particularly older homes near the Esplanade or established parts of Pialba and Point Vernon, may contain asbestos materials in roofing, walls, fencing or bathrooms. The safest approach is to arrange a professional inspection before carrying out renovations or disturbance works.
Asbestos materials are generally considered lower risk when undisturbed and in good condition. However, the harsh coastal Queensland climate can cause weathering damage to older asbestos fences and roofs, which can release fibres, which is why proper assessment and management are recommended.
If asbestos is identified or suspected in areas affected by your renovation, it will usually need to be safely removed or managed before work proceeds. A licensed asbestos professional can advise on the safest approach.
