Holiday cottages, built in waves
Ettalong Beach was laid out in holiday subdivisions from 1907 through the 1910s and 20s (State Library subdivision plans). The Restwell Estate was substantially built out by 1954 (Council heritage resources).
Council's heritage study documents weatherboard holiday cottages and surviving fibro cottages among later homes (Council heritage resources). Before changing an extension, sleep-out, eave or laundry, check the lining itself. An original timber exterior does not identify the materials added later.

Renovating an older cottage near the foreshore
Planning work near the Ettalong foreshore or Lance Webb Reserve (Council's reserve plan)? Before you pull off a wall lining or replace the eaves, find out what you're dealing with. Our asbestos testing gives you a lab answer.
Building age is a clue, not a diagnosis. A 1950s cottage might have been relined in plasterboard, and a 1970s extension might be full of asbestos cement. Only testing confirms it.
The NSW rules on the job
Removing more than 10m² of bonded asbestos, or any friable asbestos, needs a SafeWork NSW licensed removalist, who must notify SafeWork NSW at least 5 calendar days before the work starts (SafeWork NSW).
When the work is done, an independent assessor or competent person checks the area before you use it again. Every quote we send sets out removal, wrapping, disposal and clearance. Tip fees are explained in our Central Coast tip fees and wrapping guide.
