Update On Hobsons Bay Reserves

Civic Centre

Hobsons Bay City Council is closing areas at three additional reserves after testing confirmed the presence of asbestos-containing material.

Sections of Crofts Reserve, Hosken Reserve and Lynch Reserve, all in Altona North, will be closed until further notice.

Recycled mulch from these reserves was sent for testing, following the recent findings at Donald McLean Reserve in Spotswood.

Council will work with a material hygienist and the Environment Protection Authority Victoria to conduct remediation works on all these sites.
