Changes to a Fire Safety Schedule
A fire safety schedule is a legal document that can only be issued or modified by a Registered Certifier, Council, Fire and Rescue NSW, or the NSW Building Commission in specific circumstances.
An accredited practitioner (fire safety) cannot issue a fire safety schedule or make changes to a fire safety schedule.
Reissue a fire safety schedule
Council may reissue a fire safety schedule under Section 80A of the Regulation, only to correct spelling errors. It is not possible to modify, alter, introduce or remove a fire safety measure or a minimum standard of performance by reissuing a fire safety schedule.
Building owners may apply online to reissue a fire safety schedule under s 80A of the Regulation. An application fee is required for Council to assess the application.
Applications for any changes other than correcting a spelling error will be refused, and the application fees will not be refunded.
