Health by Ally Foster 22nd Apr 2021 12:43 PM A popular Sydney beach will be closed off from the public for two weeks after a concerning discovery. In August last year a local resident discovered what appeared to be asbestos washed up on the sand at Little Bay Beach. An investigation confirmed the discovery of the dangerous material, with more pieces being discovered along the beach. Randwick City Council said since then, pieces of material containing asbestos have been found regularly on the beach.
