Historic BARC hut at Benalla’s former migrant camp fails asbestos audit

However, Benalla Rural City Council has confirmed that work is being undertaken with the building’s significant heritage in mind.

“Heritage conservation works are currently under way on one of the BARC huts, located at the Benalla Aerodrome,” A BRCC spokesperson said.

“An asbestos audit report identified the asbestos roof as a hazard.

“All asbestos has been safely removed from the facility and disposed of by a licensed asbestos removal company.

“The roof will be replaced with a galvanized iron roof in accordance with heritage requirements.”
