Annual Fire Safety Statement

New developments

New developments require a final fire safety certificate that is issued as part of the Occupation Certificate process. The certificate serves in place of the Annual Fire Safety Statement (AFSS) for the first 12 months.

A copy of the Final Fire Safety Certificate must be given to the Fire Commissioner and displayed prominently within the building until the first AFSS is issued.

More information and a Fire Safety Certificate template can be found on the NSW Government website.
