If you own or manage an apartment building, commercial property, or work in strata management, body corporate, property development, architecture, or construction — it’s your responsibility to ensure your building meets fire safety requirements.
Under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000, property owners and agents are legally required to maintain all fire safety measures so they function properly in the event of a fire.
The NSW Government’s reforms have strengthened fire safety compliance for new and existing buildings.
The Department of Planning and Environment has introduced standard AFSS forms, and from 1 February 2020, Version 3.0 is mandatory for all submissions.
Building owners must also ensure they engage a Competent Fire Safety Practitioner (CFSP) for specific fire safety functions. Once the accreditation scheme is fully operational, CFSPs must be chosen from an approved register — Coastal Fire Protection is ready with fully accredited practitioners.
The Secretary of the Department of Planning and Environment has approved and published standard fire safety statement forms.
Building owners required to submit these forms must do so using the standard version 2.0 template from 1 December 2017.
However, after 1 February 2020 building owners will be required to submit AFSS using the version 3.0 template.
The Amending Regulation establishes responsibilities requiring building owners to select and identify practitioners who are competent fire safety practitioners to perform specified fire safety functions.
The first accreditation scheme is expected to become operational in April 2020 and when this occurs, a competent fire safety practitioner will need to be selected from a register of accredited practitioners. Coastal Fire Protection is well positioned to have accredited practitioners in place when this scheme becomes active.
