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.

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.

Canberra's mean minimum runs 0.1 degrees in July and 14.2 in January, a 14 degree annual swing in overnight temperature. Heating dominates the year but summer still brings 43 days at 30 degrees or above, so a reverse cycle system here has to do both jobs properly.
