Annual Fire Safety Statements – Blacktown

Blacktown City Council is one of the largest local government areas in NSW, with thousands of commercial, industrial and multi-residential buildings requiring an Annual Fire Safety Statement (AFSS) every 12 months. If you own or manage a building in the Blacktown LGA, you must lodge your AFSS with both Blacktown Council and Fire & Rescue NSW on time — or face penalty notices that escalate weekly.

FireSafe provides end-to-end AFSS inspections across the Blacktown LGA. Our FPAS-accredited Fire Safety Assessors inspect every essential fire-safety measure in your building, issue a draft AFSS within 48 hours of defects being cleared, and provide you with a step-by-step lodgement guide so you can submit on time.

How to lodge your AFSS with Blacktown Council:

Building owners in the Blacktown LGA must submit their completed Annual Fire Safety Statement through Blacktown City Council's online portal along with a copy of their current Fire Safety Schedule. You must also lodge a copy with Fire & Rescue NSW through their online submission form at fire.nsw.gov.au — there is no lodgement fee. A copy of the AFSS and Fire Safety Schedule must be prominently displayed in the building. Blacktown Council's Fire Safety Officers actively monitor compliance and can issue infringement notices for late or missing statements.
