What matters for carpentry 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.

  • Mr Fluffy loose fill asbestos is a Canberra problem, not a national one. Before any Canberra job that opens a roof space, wall cavity or subfloor, check the Affected Residential Premises Register and look for an Asbestos Management Plan in a display case at the front door.

  • If your ACT block carries a Bushfire Attack Level rating you must build to that BAL under AS 3959-2018, and it covers class 1 houses plus class 10a garages and decks attached to them. You find the rating from the Territory Plan precinct map and code, which takes precedence over the Building Act 2004.
