rs continued support for community exposure reduction programs. In parallel with the redevelopment project a new Targeted Lead Abatement Program (TLAP) was implemented. TLAP has been developed to assess current and potential future community lead exposure reduction strategies and assess which are likely to have the greatest impact on reducing children’s blood lead levels. Nyrstar has committed up to AUD 3 million per annum for up to 10 years and a further AUD 5 million to accelerate the objectives of TLAP. The AUD 3 million is representative of Nyrstar previous financial commitments. The South Australian Government will commit approximately AUD 1.5 million per annum for up to 10 years. A joint Nyrstar and SA Government Committee has been formed to facilitate the implementation of TLAP.

If your work exposes you to dust that might contain lead, don’t let it come home with you. Lead dust can easily be carried home on your clothes, boots and equipment. Taking a few simple precautions such as leaving boots outside, showering before spending time with your family, and washing work clothes separately can help protect you and your loved ones.

Our pets can easily bring lead dust indoors on their fur. Regularly washing and brushing them outside is a simple way to keep that dust out of the house. It's also a good habit to wash and dry your kids' hands right after they've finished playing with the family pets.

Growing a greener Port Pirie! 🪴

Last week the TLAP Green Team completed a greening project at Risdon Park Primary School, planting 80 new plants across the school grounds.

These new plants will help reduce dust, create valuable habitat for birds and other local wildlife, and make the school environment greener and more enjoyable for students, staff, and visitors. 😊

Planning a renovation?
Homes can often have lead dust in the wall cavities and ceilings. To keep your family safe, take careful precautions and ensure pregnant women and young children stay elsewhere until the work is finished and the space is clean.

Last week, the TLAP team had a wonderful time visiting the Port Pirie West Community Centre Playgroup! 😁

We donated a selection of native plants for the children to plant, helping them to learn about the benefits of greening and simple lead-safe gardening practices like washing hands. Green spaces help reduce dust, support local wildlife and create healthier environments for our community.

To continue the greening journey at home, we also gave away 40 plants to families to take home and plant in their own gardens, helping to keep dust down around their homes. 🪴
