Statement on gas leak in Riverstone from MP Warren Kirby
I AM deeply saddened to learn of the tragic death and hospitalisations in Riverstone following the gas leak at a local restaurant.
My thoughts are with the family of the person who has died and with everyone affected, including first responders and their loved ones.
At this stage, one member of the public and five police officers have been hospitalised.
I’ve received advice that there is no ongoing risk to the wider community, with an exclusion zone established by Fire and Rescue around the site.
Investigations are underway to establish the source of the gas leak. I have also asked for immediate updates from NSW Health on the status of those hospitalised.
Residents should follow any directions issued by emergency services. I will keep the community updated as more information comes to hand.
- Warren Kirby, Member for Riverstone.
