Future of Ray Walsh House unknown It’s been lying vacant for more than a year, after asbestos was discovered in the building. Now, Tamworth residents
The future of Ray Walsh House is still undecided more than a year and a half since it was vacated due to a problem with asbestos.
Now the council is asking the state government for financial assistance as it “weighs up” its options for the building, which has served as council headquarters since it was purchased in the 1990s.
Council is remediating the site in stages.
Last year council spent about $1 million on stage one, which included removing all materials from below ceiling height so that asbestos in the ceiling cavity remained intact.
Tamworth council will soon be asked to make a decision on the future of one of the city’s biggest, most historic buildings.
COUNCIL is keeping tight-lipped about an investigation into whether or not the relocation of staff from the asbestos-riddled Ray Walsh House was done by the book.
