What matters for building & renovation in Canberra

  • The ACT keeps an Affected Residential Premises Register of houses that still contain Mr Fluffy loose fill asbestos insulation, identified by unit, block, section and division. Tradespeople are told to check the register before working on a property, and to read the Asbestos Management Plan, which should be in a display case at the main entrance to the house.

  • Mr Fluffy pumped loose fill amosite asbestos into more than a thousand Canberra houses in the 1960s and 1970s and stopped operating in the ACT between 1978 and 1979. The material can still sit in wall cavities, subfloor spaces and behind cornices, so any pre-1980 Canberra house needs checking before anyone opens up a cavity, roof space or subfloor.

  • Selling a home in the ACT means attaching a current asbestos assessment report to the contract. If no current report exists, or the seller cannot find one after taking reasonable steps, an asbestos advice must be attached instead.

  • The ACT looks at migration pathways as well as the affected house itself. Shared cavity walls, a continuous roof space and a continuous subfloor are all listed as ways loose fill asbestos can reach a neighbouring dwelling, which matters for semi-detached and townhouse work.
