Fire Safety Renewals

Fire safety is the set of practices intended to reduce destruction caused by fire.

• The Environmental Planning and Assessment Act places a legal obligation upon the owners of a building to submit an annual fire safety statement (the statement) for the installed fire safety measures.
• Generally, this applies to new buildings (class 2-9), building alterations approved and to buildings fire upgraded after July 1988.
• The statement confirms the installed safety measures are operating to the same standard as when they were installed.
• The City of Parramatta Council issues an annual administration fee for the checking, keeping and holding of the annual fire safety statement.

Please note: Further information about the regulation changes made in October 2017 is available at the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment website.

Email your annual fire safety statement(PDF, 358KB) with a copy of the fire safety schedule to council@cityofparramatta.nsw.gov.au and complete your online submission with Fire and Rescue NSW (Please quote your ESS licence reference in all correspondence with Council).

A current fire safety schedule must be attached to the statement in accordance with the Regulation.
