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

Fire safety checks committees should do
A property’s mandatory fire safety requirements will differ a little from
state to state, so each property’s committee must stay up-to-date with
state-based requirements.
Fireproof your property with body corporate fire safety
All body corporates have fire safety obligations to uphold appropriate safety building standards and that
their fire safety installations are effective in the event of a fire.
How to improve your fire safety if your property has combustible
cladding
Combustible cladding can increase the chance of fires, which means improved
property fire safety is crucial. Regardless of whether your property has
combustible cladding or not, your building must meet the general fire safety
requirements that vary by state.
