What matters for plumbing 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.

Canberra Airport averages 59.7 nights a year at or below 0 degrees and 92.9 at or below 2 degrees, with a July mean minimum of 0.1 degrees. That is nearly 60 hard frosts against Hobart's 1.3, so exposed pipework, outdoor taps, solar hot water lines and pool plumbing need real frost protection here.

The ACT public construction occupation registers show more than whether a licence exists. They list expired, suspended, surrendered and cancelled licences and any disciplinary action taken against the holder, so a search tells you the history as well as the status.
