Clubs in dark
BRISBANE City Council has identified more than 60 asbestos-affected sporting and community clubs but many say they have not been told there's a problem.
The buildings, also leased by arts and school groups, are considered asbestos risks requiring regular monitoring.
The council said there was no danger from the asbestos and claimed all had been informed but at least a dozen contacted by The Courier-Mail were either unaware of the problem or did not know it was their responsibility.

Replacement of electric hot water systems
On Sunday 3 June 2007, the Premier announced Queensland's Climate Change Strategy - ClimateSmart 2050.

This initiative is the first of its kind in Australia and follows action by the Queensland Government to ban installation of electric hot water systems in all new houses (Class 1 buildings) which came into effect on 1 March 2006.
