Asbestos forces office closure

In the meantime, all customer services are temporarily operating from the Jerilderie Library.

“Staff are on hand during regular business hours to assist with enquiries, payments and other council services,” council said.

“You can also reach our customer service team on 1300 676 243 or by emailing mail@murrumbidgee.nsw.gov.au.

“Bendigo Bank agency services are not available from the library.

“We apologise for any inconvenience and appreciate your patience during this important safety work.”

The Southern Riverina News sought more information on the asbestos find and the processes required to make the building safe.

General manager John Scarce was reluctant to provide responses until he had more information.
