A Fire Safety Schedule is a document that lists the essential fire safety measures in a building.
Essential fire safety measures are features in a building to protect its occupants during a fire or other emergency.
The Fire Safety Schedule lists the minimum standard of performance that each essential fire safety measure must be able to operate to.
A Fire Safety Schedule is issued:
- with a development consent for a change of building use (eg converting a shop to an office)
- with a complying development certificate for building work or change of use
- with a construction certificate for building work
- with a Fire Safety Order.

Request to reissue a Fire Safety Schedule
The owner of a building can ask for a Fire Safety Schedule to be reissued by Council or by their private building certifier.
A Fire Safety Schedule may only be reissued by a private building certifier if they have not yet issued an occupation certificate.
A Fire Safety Schedule may only be reissued by Council if it is satisfied that:
- the schedule has been lost or destroyed, or
- there are errors or omissions that require correction.
A Fire Safety Schedule cannot be reissued if the error or omission is due to:
- building work, or
- a change in plans or specifications for the fire safety measures of the building.
