01What changes in Canberra
ACT Planning says replacing a roof can require building approval while replacing an individual roof tile can be exempt if the wider conditions are met. Its construction-licence guidance also distinguishes licensed builders and plumbers from trades that currently do not hold a separate occupation licence, so a campaign should not invent a “roof restoration licence”. Any structural, roof-plumbing or approval-dependent work must be routed correctly.
Canberra also has the strictest household asbestos-removal position in the national guidance: asbestos material must be removed by a licensed removalist. Belconnen, Gungahlin, Tuggeranong and Woden Valley can share targeting where inspection capacity is consistent.
