Combustible cladding refers to external wall materials that can ignite and contribute to the rapid spread of fire. Often, this includes aluminium composite panels (ACP) with a polyethylene core — a plastic material known for its flammability. When used on building facades, these materials pose significant safety risks, especially in mid- to high-rise structures.
In New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland, updated regulations now target these risks directly. If your property still includes non-compliant cladding, it may fall short of current safety codes. This can affect insurance coverage, leasing conditions and future property transactions. Most importantly, it raises concerns around resident safety and legal liability.
Buildings approved or constructed between the early 2000s and late 2010s are most likely to be impacted. If you’re unsure whether your building is affected, an expert assessment is the best place to start. Delaying remediation can lead to higher costs and more complex project scopes down the track.
Canopy Constructions provides complete combustible cladding removal and facade replacement services across NSW, Queensland and Victoria. Our goal is simple: replace unsafe materials with compliant, long-lasting alternatives that also enhance the appearance of your building.
The process begins with a site inspection to assess the condition of your current cladding. From there, our team manages Development Applications (DA) or Complying Development Certificates (CDC) submissions, along with the removal of existing panels and the installation of approved facade systems.
We work closely with strata managers, developers and building owners to deliver a transparent, coordinated service. Each project is overseen by experienced builders who are committed to delivering high-quality, regulation-ready outcomes. All systems used are tested and certified to meet fire safety and structural standards.

We’re ready to visit your site, review your situation and walk you through the next steps for cladding replacement in NSW, Queensland or Victoria.
