Annual Fire Safety Statements – Cumberland
FPAS-accredited inspections for commercial, strata and industrial buildings across the Cumberland City Council LGA
Cumberland City Council covers some of Western Sydney's busiest commercial and industrial corridors, with a high concentration of mixed-use buildings, shopping centres and industrial parks that all require an Annual Fire Safety Statement (AFSS) every 12 months. If you own or manage a building in the Cumberland LGA, you must lodge your AFSS with both Cumberland Council and Fire & Rescue NSW. Failure to lodge can result in penalty notices and enforcement action.
FireSafe provides end-to-end AFSS inspections across the Cumberland 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 Cumberland Council:
Building owners in the Cumberland LGA must submit their completed Annual Fire Safety Statement through Cumberland 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. Cumberland Council reviews fire safety statements for compliance and may take enforcement action where non-conformances are identified.
