The ACT government has for the first time revealed where potentially flammable cladding has been removed from public buildings.

But remediation work for a remaining 13 buildings with the potentially deadly cladding has not yet been completed, with the work expected to be done before late 2022.

The rectification work came after an audit identified 23 buildings that needed immediate works to reduce the fire risk.

Cladding has been removed at Arawang Primary School, Erindale College, Lyneham Primary School, Melrose High School and Yarralumla Primary School.

Rectification work has also been completed at the Gungahlin Oval grandstand, the National Convention Centre, the Tuggeranong Child and Family Centre and two public housing sites.

Sustainable Building and Construction Minister Rebecca Vassarotti has previously refused to release the full list of buildings identified by the audit, citing security risks.

There were more than 70 buildings identified in the audit, which followed a deadly fire in the Grenfell Tower building in London, a council housing block which had been retrofitted with flammable cladding.

The audit found 23 would need immediate rectification, while the rest of the buildings would be first subject to internal processes, a budget estimates hearing was told in February.

The ACT government was concerned "people could take matters into their own hands" if the complete list was released and set the buildings on fire, Ms Vassarotti said in July.

"People that are affected, as part of the program, we're working with those individuals and they know exactly what's going on and how the work will be proceeding," she said.

Ms Vassarotti again urged eligible owners' corporations and strata managers to access the ACT government's private buildings cladding scheme, which was unveiled in July.

The scheme offers a rebate of half the costs of having cladding tested and assessed, up to a maximum of $20,000 excluding GST.

The second phase of the scheme will offer concessional loans to apartment building owners who need the potentially deadly cladding removed.

Details of the loans are expected to be released in the first half of 2022 after the bulk of buildings have been tested for the cladding.

The ACT government in August 2020 had committed to a taxpayer-funded loan scheme to help apartment owners determine whether their buildings used flammable cladding.

The ACT government's economic recovery package, announced at the time, allocated $21.4 million to two cladding rectification schemes over three financial years.

The government committed to inspecting territory owned buildings in the wake of London's deadly Grenfell Tower fire in June 2017, in which 72 people died.

The audit of 466 government-owned buildings quickly identified potentially dangerous cladding panels at Centenary Hospital and five other ACT health buildings.

While the ACT government has long refused to release a list of the identified buildings, it has insisted none of the buildings were at "immediate risk and were safe to occupy".

A total of $19 million has been set aside to remediate the government buildings identified during the audit.

The Greens in 2019 called on the ACT government to expand the audit to cover privately owned buildings.
