Starting February 2026, amendments under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 will introduce new requirements aimed at improving fire safety in NSW buildings, reducing risks to life, property damage, and fire safety defects.
For apartment and buildings in NSW, this means changes in how to obtain an annual fire safety statements (AFSS). The updated regulations now require mandatory compliance with Australian Standard AS1851-2012 for fire protection system maintenance, unless otherwise covered by an approved performance solution.
Although you have 12 months to comply with the new regulations, it is better to start preparing now. Early compliance will help mitigate risks, ensure occupant safety, and prevent costly last-minute adjustments when the regulations take effect.

Your AFSS submission requires you to certify that all fire safety measures are up to code. The **90-day period** refers to the time before your AFSS due date when annual inspections can occur. Within this timeframe, any non-compliance issues must be rectified, and all required registers, including those for passive fire stopping and fire dampers, must be completed to ensure AFSS certification. This window is critical for ensuring all measures are in place for timely compliance.
