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.

Bushfire prone areas in the ACT are mapped on ACTMAPI and in Territory Plan precinct codes, and a BAL rating on your block changes the construction spec for the house and for attached decks and garages under AS 3959-2018. Check the block before you price a deck or a re-roof in a fringe suburb.
