Inner West mayor Darcy Byrne said the derelict building should have been knocked down years ago.
The NSW Labor government says it will co-operate with an inquiry into the troubled Rozelle Interchange,but the opposition says it is a witch-hunt.
The key arterial route through Sydney’s inner west failed a major test on Tuesday as the road above the Rozelle interchange again turned into a car park.
Home owners in pockets of the inner west,north shore and eastern suburbs have the best odds of selling at auction.
Roads Minister John Graham says changes to the new Rozelle interchange over the holidays had transferred the problem further up Victoria Road,making the commute worse for some.
The prevention notice was issued to the supplier of mulch for the Rozelle Parklands,which was later found to be contaminated with asbestos.
A construction giant is investigating whether its other infrastructure projects have used contaminated mulch after asbestos was found at the inner Sydney park.
The co-director of Greenlife Resource Recovery,which supplied recycling mulch used around Rozelle,previously operated a landscaping supply business without the proper licence.
It’s the first time asbestos containing mulch has been detected outside the parklands.
Rozelle Parklands will need regular maintenance to ensure it remains safe when it is reopened.
The park,which opened only last month,will remain closed after more asbestos samples were discovered by investigators.
