Sydney: Heads Up, Runners! Possible Asbestos Mulch Found on Bay Run Bridge

Attention Bay Run fans! There’s concern that some parts of the walking track might have asbestos mulch.

Here’s the info:

• What: Mulch used on the Lilyfield Road Bridge might contain asbestos. This comes after the mulch supplier, Greenlife Resource Recovery, was linked to a wider asbestos mulch scandal.
• Where: The bridge is part of the popular 7km Bay Run walking circuit, running through Drummoyne, Five Dock, Rozelle, Lilyfield, and Haberfield.
• What’s happening: Local council (Inner West Council) is investigating and has fenced off the affected area (not the bridge itself or main track).
• What to do: Be aware and avoid the fenced-off area. Stay tuned for updates from the council on further testing and safety measures.
