flag Asbestos found at Liverpool reserve led to re-fencing, failed notification, and ongoing investigations into soil supplier HiQ.

flag Liverpool City Council is under scrutiny after asbestos was found at Pye Hill Reserve in August, with additional contamination discovered October 11, prompting re-fencing of areas and ongoing testing. flag The council admitted failing to notify one street of the risk, apologized, and confirmed the site is now safe after inspections. flag The contamination is linked to soil from HiQ Cecil Park, which supplied material certified as safe but admitted blending it with other sources, losing track of final uses. flag NSW regulators are investigating the source, certification validity, and potential worker exposure, while the council maintains it only used HiQ’s soil, which was supposed to be contaminant-free.
