TLAP

An initiative to reduce the blood lead levels of children living in Port Pirie. With TLAP help is at hand.

For details on our programs and activities visit our website The TLAP (Targeted Lead Abatement Program) goal is to enhance the existing community blood lead reduction initiatives to in children. Specifically TLAP will aim to increase the percentage of children in Port Pirie aged 0 to 4 years who have blood lead levels within the NHMRC guidelines to 95% within 10 years. Nyrstar Redevelopment delivers 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.

It’s spring, which means Jaymie’s getting plants ready for the ground, and another busy planting season is underway at TLAP.
Our goal is simple: use vegetation to help reduce environmental lead by covering bare soil. Over the years, we’ve helped green key sites across Port Pirie, with more planting to come.
Keep an eye out for the crew around town, and say hi to Jaymie if you spot her.
