Strict fire safety regulations mean that fire certification for buildings is imperative. Protecting your investment, people, and business requires a proactive commitment to meeting – and exceeding – these standards.
At Coastal Fire Services, we have extensive knowledge of all Australian and NSW-specific standards, both the minimum requirements and best practice standards when it comes to your fire safety.
Although we are based in Newcastle, Hunter Region, we undertake our fire certification services across the state, including the Central Coast, Mid-North Coast, Sydney and inland.
The Environmental Planning and Assessment (Development Certification and Fire Safety) Regulation 2021 outlines legal conditions for development certification and fire safety requirements. The Coastal Fire Services team are well-versed in the intricacies of this legislation, ensuring that your property not only meets but exceeds the necessary standards.
The National Construction Code sets the minimum requirements for safety, health, amenity, accessibility and sustainability for buildings in Australia. Our team are dedicated to adhering to the safety measures required when it comes to fire certification for buildings, and are qualified to carry out installs, services and maintenance to ensure you are protected.
Within the Environmental Planning and Assessment (Development Certification and Fire Safety) Regulation 2021 a key aspect of building fire compliance is the issuance of fire safety statements. These documents, crucial for existing buildings, confirm that an accredited practitioner (fire safety) has thoroughly assessed, inspected, and verified the performance of each fire safety measure on your property.
Coastal Fire Services assists in preparing both types of fire safety statements:
AS 1851 is an Australian Standard that outlines the requirements of the routine service procedures of fire protection systems and equipment. The Standard covers a wide range of fire detection and suppression systems including extinguishers, hydrants, alarms and more.
It outlines a Routine Fire safety Inspection schedule to inspect and maintain all fire safety measures ensuring that they are in optimal working condition. Our range of services adheres to all relevant aspects of AS 1851 so you can have peace of mind that you’re protected at any given time.
The NSW Government has established Fire Safety Standards for Short Term Rental Accommodation (STRA), encompassing all necessary fire safety regulations applicable to residences offering short-term rental accommodations. Our team has extensive knowledge of the latest standards for STRA, covering Airbnb and holiday rental properties.
We can provide certifications, reports, and offer additional recommendations for fire safety. For more details, refer to the official STRA Fire Safety Standard provided by the NSW Government.
Fire Safety Certificates are issued by or on behalf of a building owner on the completion of a development. The certificate confirms that qualified fire safety personnel have installed and checked all fire safety measures.
Our team are qualified to complete Fire Safety Certificates for developments under classes:
A Development Application (DA) is prepared for local councils to approve building on a specific area of land. The Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 outlines that a council must not approve development in bush fire prone areas unless the development application complies with Planning for Bush Fire Protection (PBP) requirements.
Our team can help you to obtain a report to identify whether your proposed development satisfies the requirements outlined in this legislation.
The Bushfire Assessment Report accompanies your DA Report and is required where there is a proposed development on bush fire prone land. It determines how prone your property may be to bushfires and provides measures to protect life, property and the environment through fire suppression and fire prevention.
Fire safety Building Surveys ensure that your building is compliant with legislation surrounding fire safety. These surveys include identifying evacuation points and escape routes for occupants and visitors of buildings. Our team can conduct and action requirements and further recommendations which result from these reports to ensure compliance and safety.
Fire Safety Audits include a review of all documentation and measures involved in ensuring your building is compliant with Australian fire safety standards. All owners, fire auditors and fire safety providers must uphold these standards.
Our team is qualified to conduct your Fire Safety Audit to ensure your investment, people and business are safe. Fire Safety Audits are recommended to be done regularly, either annually or when there is a significant change in the design or use of the building.
