Annual Fire Safety Statements – Canterbury-Bankstown

The City of Canterbury-Bankstown is one of the most densely built-up local government areas in NSW, with a huge number of commercial, industrial and multi-residential buildings that require an Annual Fire Safety Statement (AFSS) every 12 months. If you own or manage a building in the Canterbury-Bankstown LGA, you must lodge your AFSS with both Canterbury-Bankstown Council and Fire & Rescue NSW. Late lodgement is an offence that can attract penalties of up to $110,000 through the Land and Environment Court.

FireSafe provides end-to-end AFSS inspections across the Canterbury-Bankstown 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 Canterbury-Bankstown Council:

Building owners in the Canterbury-Bankstown LGA must submit their completed Annual Fire Safety Statement through the City of Canterbury-Bankstown 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. Canterbury-Bankstown Council actively monitors fire safety compliance and may issue penalty infringement notices or Fire Safety Orders for non-compliance.
