Asbestos removal and demolition in Lightning Ridge

Lightning Ridge is a long way from most contractors, and we have been working there in 2026. We plan remote jobs so the crew, plant and waste disposal are organised before we leave Dubbo.

Working in Lightning Ridge

Homes and buildings in Lightning Ridge and on the surrounding opal fields were often built from whatever materials were available, and fibro and asbestos cement sheeting are common. When those buildings are damaged, renovated or knocked down, the asbestos has to be removed by a licensed contractor and taken to a facility licensed to accept it.

We bring the Class A licence, the demolition crew and our own earthmoving plant on the one trip, so a Lightning Ridge job does not depend on finding local subcontractors. We work on government housing, community buildings and private property.

Frequently asked questions

Who approves demolition in Lightning Ridge?
Lightning Ridge is part of Walgett Shire, so demolition development applications go to Walgett Shire Council. A complying development certificate from a certifier may also be an option.
Can you get plant out to the opal fields?
Yes. We move our own machines by low loader and plan access and disposal before we mobilise. Call us to talk through the site.
