The Government has developed generic advice (Asbestos Advice) about the likely location of asbestos in residential premises built before 1985. This Asbestos Advice is based on the findings of an asbestos survey of over 600 homes undertaken by the ACT Asbestos Task Force. ACT laws require sellers and lessors of residential premises to provide the Asbestos Advice with a contract for sale and with a residential tenancy agreement. The law also requires building certifiers to provide the Asbestos Advice when issuing a building approval.
