Queensland Fire Compliance Services

Our dedicated team of professionals brings extensive experience in building compliance and a deep understanding of legislative and regulatory requirements in Queensland. When it comes to the safety and compliance of your building, you can rely on our expertise and support to remain compliant and safe.

Your Fire Compliance Responsibilities

As a building owner or occupier, it is essential to be aware of your fire compliance obligations within your property. Understanding and adhering to the regulations fosters a safe environment for all occupants and helps avoid penalties for non-compliance.

In Queensland, a building owner or occupant must submit a yearly Occupier Statement to the Commissioner of the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) to confirm that the fire safety installations in your building have been appropriately maintained, following relevant standards or
recommendations.

 

Why Fire Compliance Matters

Any building other than a standalone house or townhouse (class 1a) has a fire safety obligation, with high-occupancy buildings having additional commitments to fulfil. All fire safety compliance items, including a signed occupier’s statements, are mandatory if the building has fire safety obligations.


Under the Building Fire Safety Regulation 2008, failing to meet the requirements:

  • Is a breach of legislated body corporate obligations
  • Leaves buildings at risk for penalties and on-the-spot fines from QFES audits
  • May invalidate building insurance in the event of a claim
  • May leave the body corporate liable for loss or death
