The Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000 (the Regulation) requires Annual Fire Safety Statements to be submitted to Council, certifying all of the essential fire safety measures installed in the building/premises. The NSW Government introduced reforms through the Regulation to strengthen fire safety certification for new and existing buildings.
Fire safety reform information have been developed to assist owners and practitioners with the requirements.
Where an annual fire safety statement cannot be submitted due to legitimate unanticipated circumstances, Council will consider an application to extend the due date for the statement submission.
