ACT considers keeping ASIO waste

as posted here

The ACT Government is not ruling out allowing waste from the ASIO headquarters building site to be dumped in Canberra.

Developers are negotiating with the ACT Government after the Yass Valley Council rejected a proposal to dump tonnes of waste at the Murrumbateman landfill.

There are concerns the waste from the site on Constitution Avenue near the suburb of Campbell is contaminated with asbestos.

Acting Territory and Municipal Services Minister Katy Gallagher says the Government is considering the request.

"I think there's certainly more work to be done in this area and nothing would be agreed to which didn't meet very strict environmental protection standards," she said.

"Of course there's some issues that need to be worked through."
