Wanniassa was developed through the 1970s and 1980s as part of Tuggeranong’s expansion, and many original homes still carry paintwork from that period. Lead is a toxic substance that affects people of any age, and it poses the greatest risk once it’s damaged or disturbed. It accumulates in the body over time, settling in bones and teeth, and even small exposures carry health risks.
Evidence links lead exposure to cardiovascular disease, reduced fertility and birth defects, kidney damage, and nervous system impacts. It’s also linked to cancer, anaemia, and behavioural changes. These risks make correct identification and removal essential before any renovation or demolition work begins.
Lead paint is commonly found on window frames, doors, skirting boards, and kitchen and bathroom cupboards. It also turns up on exterior and interior walls, and on metal surfaces including gutters and fascias. Wanniassa’s original brick-veneer and weatherboard homes commonly carry these surfaces.
