Two Western Australian seaside shack associations will meet the authors of a report which examines asbestos levels at one of Australia's largest shack communities.
The report by independent consultants found more than 250 shacks at Wedge Island and Grey, south of Jurien Bay on the state's mid-west coast, appear to contain asbestos-related material.
Murray Knowles from the Wedge Island Protection Association said it would work with the Department of Parks and Wildlife to appropriately manage the asbestos.
He said the association would meet the department and the report's authors in mid-January.
"It's the issue of what to do to make sure that it's managed in an appropriate way and health issues are addressed," he said.
"So that's what we want to find out with the presentation.
"We need to hear the presentation and have those questions answered or other information supplied before we make a formal position on it."

It is only when drilled or freshly damaged that fibres are released otherwise stable - hell most houses pre 1980 have asbestos in their eaves ........what are they going to knock all them down ?

Well, they'd better demolish Kalbarri while they're at it.
Place is full of it in the older section of town. Most of the roofs and the walls as well. Stay away! Your health is at risk!
