ACT rules
Roofs and asbestos in the ACT
- Replacing a whole roof needs building approval. Replacing a roof tile doesn't.
- Homes built or renovated between 1950 and 1985 are likely to contain asbestos somewhere.
- In the ACT, asbestos can only be removed by a licensed removalist, unlike other states that let homeowners remove up to 10 m².
From ACT Planning: Check if you need a building approval and WorkSafe ACT: Removing asbestos and notifying WorkSafe ACT and Asbestos Safety and Eradication Agency: Unlicensed asbestos removal report (checked 17 Oct 2026). A guide, not legal advice: check the source before you rely on it.
