Building Fire Safety Regulations and Annual Fire Safety Statements
Recent changes in October 2017 to the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000 (the EP&A Regulation) were introduced by the Environmental Planning and Assessment Amendment (Fire Safety and Building Certification) Regulation 2017 (the Amending Regulation) to improve fire safety in new and existing buildings. The changes relate to complex buildings and do not affect houses or related outbuildings like garages and carports.
Effective Dates for New Fire Safety Regulations
The Amending Regulation came into effect on 1 October 2017. From that date, some new requirements applied immediately (such as new requirements activating Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) input). Other new and changed requirements will generally only apply to developments authorised by a development consent or complying development certificate (CDC) granted after 1 October 2017.
