A balcony door generally has nothing to do with fire safety as it’s not separating fire compartments or providing emergency egress, hence, would not be included in a fire order.

Not to say there can’t be a unique situation that might require a fire rated balcony door or egress, but I’ve not seen one in the 29 odd years I’ve been in fire protection.

I've been involved in strata since 2001, spoken at events, written training courses and been involved in committees. I am a regular contributor to SCA, FMA, OCN, LookUpStrata and Your Strata Property.
I’ve been in fire protection since 1992, a graduate of the Institute of Fire Engineers and an Accredited Practitioner (Fire Safety).
I’ve served voluntarily as VP of FPA Australia and on SCA’s NSW State Committee. I've represented FMA on the Building Commission’s Fire Safety Steering committee, and listed in the 2021 report into Fire Safety Reform. I am co-chair of the Strata sector of the Fire Safety Industry Reference Group.
I bring timely fire and related legislative knowledge transparently to the strata industry.
