I refer to the Auditor General’s April 2015 report, Asbestos Management in Public Sector Agencies, and to page 21 of the report which indicates that the Department of Education was working with Building Management and Works to identify whether risks similar to those experienced at Willetton High School in 2014 were present in other schools, and I ask:

(a)  have similar risks been identified at other schools; and

1326. Hon Alison Xamon to the Minister for Environment:

I refer to Gooseberry Hill Primary School, and the possible contamination of the school’s dam given past practices of dumping rubbish across the site surrounding the school grounds, and I ask:

(a)  has the Ledger Road Dam site (Lot 1879 Vol. LR3005 Folio #546) been classified as “Possibly Contaminated – Investigation Required”;

(b)  will the department test the water in the school’s water tanks for contaminants; and
