Exemption from fire safety standards
FRNSW will not grant any exemption from fire safety standards, made under s111 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment (Development Certification and Fire Safety) Regulation 2021, that involves the total deletion of any required hydraulic Category 3 fire safety provision (e.g. a required fire hydrant system).
Note: Total deletion of any hydraulic fire safety provision required by the National Construction Code would not be considered reasonable nor necessary.
Refer to Fire safety exemption for further information on the exemption process, including how to apply and other restrictions when an exemption cannot be granted.
