Canberra Demolition FAQs

Yes, all demolition requires council approval. Capital Demolition manages all applications and compliance documentation for you.

Typically, a Development Application (DA) or Complying Development Certificate (CDC) via local authorities. We handle submissions from start to finish.

Many older Canberra properties contain bonded and friable asbestos in roofing, cladding, and outbuildings. Our team is fully trained and licenced in safe asbestos removal.

Standard residential demolitions generally take 3-7 days; complex or hazard-prone sites may require additional time.

We ensure all waste is handled responsibly and disposed of at EPA approved facilities, maintaining full compliance.
