Botanic gardens asbestos clean-up - ABC Darwin - Australian Broadcasting Corporation: The clean-up is part of an $86,000 government contract to remove asbestos from the Gardens, after scraps were found by Gardens staff earlier this year.
Staff had since banned mowing the lawns to avoid contact and to leave the material undisturbed until removalists were employed.
Parks and Wildlife acting chief executive Andrew Bridges said the Botanic Gardens may have been a dump site for asbestos after Cyclone Tracy in 1974.
