Fire Safety Enquiry

Fire safety matters!
Whether you own, manage, or occupy a building, fire safety is crucial. This applies to all types of properties, from residential to commercial, retail, and industrial premises.

When to use this form

  • Report fire safety concerns - you suspect a building does not comply with the required fire safety measures (excluding standard residential fire alarms).
  • Questions about fire safety statements.

Annual fire safety statements

A fire safety statement is a document issued by building owners or their representatives, confirming that an accredited practitioner (fire safety) has assessed and verified the performance of each applicable fire safety measure in the building.
  • Fire safety statements must be lodged with both City of Newcastle and Fire & Rescue NSW.
  • You can use our Application Tracker to determine when a statement was submitted and the subsequent due date.
  • You can submit your Annual Fire Safety Statement on our website.
