    $33k was the cheapest I could find in Rockhampton.
    One of the reasons I dislike my IPs up there.

    I'm kinda curious about asbestos, what does it give to a roof anyway? I know there are many applications of asbestos, is it harmful or safe?

    I would not worry about it
    My super 6 roof is 76 years old and my roofer said it good for many more years

    Are you kidding ? Asbestos is a material that CAUSES cancer when inhaled into a lung. This causes necrosis of the lung tissue which triggers a cancer response in time. The expected incidence of fatality is believed to be 100% however old age or other causes of death may occur prior to the cancer. (Mesothelioma) Asbestos has been a prohibited material for a long time. However there is no law which imposes a requirement to remove it unless it is damaged.

    Asbestos has excellent thermal properties. No man made material comes close. However it does become brittle with heat and age giving it a poor service life. Asbestos is a fibre and is usually bonded together using fillers. These break down and release very small or larger fibres which are air borne.

    Asbestos is a regulated product and its removal or changes to it MUST be performed by licensed contractors. It is a serious offence (EPA) in most states to handle, remove or dump asbestos to limit impacts on the community.

    If the material is in good state the asbestos roof probably poses no risk however if damaged by hail or other impacts it could become a concern.

    I found it was cheaper to use a roofing company certified to replace asbestos roofs, so could be removed and reroofed in one go.
