The Department of Housing and Works will carry out asbestos inspections of all its 19,000 public housing dwellings constructed prior to 1990, Housing and Works Minister Michelle Roberts said on Tuesday of this week.

She also directed the State Government inter-departmental Asbestos Steering Committee - WA Government Buildings to monitor that all State Government agencies complete asbestos registers and management plans for all their buildings within 12 months.

It will be the task of the Asbestos Steering Committee to ensure that all registers are up-to-date and that appropriate management plans are in place.
