Leichhardt Municipal Council issues a leaflet entitled "Lead and Your Child - Problems and Remedies" with all BA (Building Application) approvals.

 In addition, the following warning is placed on all BA permits: "Council advises extreme caution when renovating or removing old lead-based paints as the inhalation or ingestion of lead particles is hazardous, particularly to children".

The LEAD Group urges everyone to ask their own local council for information about lead and refer unenlightened council employees to Leichhardt Council, 7-15 Wetherill Street, Leichhardt NSW 2040 (Ph: 02 9367 9222) for a copy of the leaflet.
