ACT SES and fire and rescue crews responded to a number of call outs for fallen trees, property damage and blocked roads.
The damage was caused by a strong weather system that swept across parts of the country on Wednesday.
Gusts of almost 100km/h were recorded on Mount Ginini, while wind speeds of 50km/h were measured in Canberra early on Thursday morning.
The windy conditions led to a severe weather warning being issued for the ACT by the Bureau of Meteorology.
An ACT Emergency Services Agency spokesman said while the strong wind warning was no longer in place, crews were still able to responds to incidents caused by the wild weather.

The severe weather warning also prompted a warning for damaging surf conditions along the NSW coast.
The weather warning is still active for parts of the Snow Mountains and south coast, along with the southern tablelands.
