Repair and clean-up works are yet to commence more than two months since the fire hit, with many buildings containing asbestos reduced to rubble.

Tim McDonald works out of the Old Packing building in Batlow, a large part of which was destroyed by fire.

"The whole back of the building is just rubble now with asbestos laying around," he said.

"I'm able to work out of the front section of the building but it's still a worry."

Mr McDonald, who lives in Batlow himself and owns a cafe in town, said he was concerned for children breathing in asbestos.

"We see school kids walking through it and past it all the time as a shortcut to get to school and it's just so dangerous," he said.

Deb Wiltshire works at Mr McDonald's cafe, Coffee and More, and said action needed to be taken now before people were hurt.

"Kids will be kids and search through these falling buildings, but it just isn't safe," she said.

"They need to get moving now and clean it up, it's taken far too long already and we are sick of waking up to destruction every morning."

Mr McDonald said his concerns spanned beyond just residents as a major tourist event approached.

"The Cider Fest is coming up and the area next to what is now rubble at the Old Packing place is where a lot of people normally park for it," he said.

"Now, they either can't because it's fenced off, or at least shouldn't because it isn't safe."

Wagga and Riverina Regional Enviroscience director, Juliet Duffy, said they had only done minimal work around Batlow at this stage, but the town was on their radar for asbestos risks.

"Generally as an industry rule, they should apply a 10 metre exclusion zone around a known asbestos site, but the only way to really confirm the presence of asbestos in the air is to undertake air monitoring," she said.

"Children or the general public shouldn't be cutting corners in the case of the building referenced in Batlow, exclusion zones are there for a reason."

Laing O'Rourke has been contracted by the State Government to facilitate clean-up works across NSW.

Senior projects leader of the company Darren Hubscher said they would begin community conversations in Batlow next week to discuss where efforts were needed most.

"Our priority is safety, so asbestos concerns will be our initial focus, particularly around schools and hospitals."

The Batlow community meeting will take place on Wednesday, March 18 at the RSL Club from 6.30pm.
