Regularly, LookUpStrata partners with industry leaders to discuss topics of interest for our NSW audience of lot owners, strata industry professionals and the broader NSW community. These strata webinars usually feature Q&A sessions where the panelist/s answer NSW questions that have been submitted by our audience either leading up to or during the session.
NSW: Fire Safety – what’s changing, when and what do you need to do about it? | Rob Broadhead, 2020 Fire Protection – March 2024
Rob Broadhead from 2020 Fire Protection joined Nikki Jovicic from LookUpStrata to discuss changes to fire safety in class 2 residential buildings.
What’s changing in fire safety? How do owners, managers, practitioners, and residents need to prepare for February 2025?
In 2021, the Office of the Building Commissioner tasked a working group of industry experts to produce a report aimed at enhancing fire safety in Class 2 buildings, which are essentially residential strata buildings.
Today, we are fortunate to have Rob with us. Rob was a member of this group. The working group produced the October 2021 Report on Improving Fire Safety. This webinar explains the implications of that report and how owners corporations can fulfil the necessary requirements.
