01What changes in Canberra
ACT planning guidance says plumbers, drainers and gasfitters must be licensed to perform the relevant work. Its inspection guidance distinguishes minor repairs and replacements, which still require a licensed plumber and drainer and a hydraulic certificate of compliance, from commercial work where plan approval is required. It also notes that final drainage and plumbing plans must be registered before a final inspection is booked where applicable.
Canberra advertising should therefore separate quick household jobs from commercial or planned projects rather than claiming one frictionless approval path. Belconnen, Gungahlin, Tuggeranong and Woden Valley can share a campaign only where the roster and availability genuinely support it.
