Council building and fire safety compliance inspections
Government and council-owned buildings carry a unique set of responsibilities when it comes to fire safety compliance. These facilities serve the public and often include offices, libraries, community centres, aquatic centres, depots, and sporting facilities—each with its own risks and operational requirements. Ensuring these sites remain compliant with fire safety legislation is not only a legal obligation but also essential to protecting staff, visitors, and council assets.
EBC Group supports local governments and councils in meeting their fire compliance obligations with confidence. We conduct comprehensive inspections and assessments across all types of facilities, ensuring every essential safety measure is maintained, documented, and compliant with the relevant Australian Standards and codes. Our work is aligned with AS 1851 and the Building Code of Australia, helping you demonstrate due diligence and maintain the highest safety standards.
Practical support for public infrastructure and facilities
Council buildings vary in function and complexity, and a generic approach to fire safety often falls short. Our team takes the time to understand each site’s usage, risk profile, and compliance history. We assess existing systems, review documentation, and identify gaps in testing, maintenance, or reporting. Whether it’s a civic centre with high daily foot traffic or a works depot operating with hazardous materials, we tailor our approach to suit the environment.
We also help councils manage the documentation required for compliance and auditing, including schedules for essential safety measures, test reports, and updated evacuation diagrams. Our aim is to reduce the administrative burden on council teams while ensuring all properties remain safe, compliant, and audit-ready.
End-to-end fire safety inspections for council assets
EBC Group offers fully managed fire safety inspections and system checks across your council’s building portfolio. From fire detection and alarm systems to sprinklers, hydrants, and smoke control, we coordinate inspections, servicing, and rectification works where required. We ensure every element is tested in accordance with the relevant standards—AS 1670, AS 2118, and AS 2419—backed by clear reporting and practical advice.
Our inspectors also assist with reviewing site-specific block plans, emergency procedures, and evacuation diagrams to confirm accuracy and alignment with current site layouts. We offer strategies for ongoing system management, helping you maintain compliance over time, even as facilities grow or change in use.
