Do I need approval to remove the asbestos roof from my garage?

No you don’t. If you want to remove asbestos roofing, you do not need approval from your local council. However, for this type of work we strongly encourage you to use a licensed contractor – removing the asbestos is hazard enough without adding working up high on a roof to the mix! And remember, if the quantity is greater than 10 square metres in area, then you MUST use a licensed contractor.
