Renovating? Know the asbestos hot spots

In the ACT, chances are that if you live in an area other than Gungahlin or Southern Tuggeranong, your house was built before 1985 and is likely to contain asbestos.

It’s important that you know which materials might contain asbestos so that you can take the proper precautions when you’re renovating or making repairs.

So before you get cracking, whether it’s something as minor as putting up a new towel rail in the bathroom or undertaking a major extension to your home, get the facts first. It’s an investment in your family’s health.
