Generate your Fire Safety Installation Schedule, manage the Fire Safety Statement, and run BAL, egress and NCC 2025 Section J - all aligned to Queensland requirements.
Queensland regulates essential fire and life-safety measures under the Building Fire Safety Regulation 2008. New and altered buildings need a Fire Safety Installation Schedule listing every required measure and its performance standard, and building owners must lodge a Fire Safety Statement each year confirming those measures have been inspected and maintained to AS 1851.
The Fire & Building Compliance Suite handles the full Brisbane and Queensland workflow - from the initial fire-system assessment and Fire Safety Installation Schedule, through construction-phase passive fire tracking, to ongoing essential safety measure management and the Fire Safety Statement.
This page summarises how the software supports Queensland compliance. Always verify outputs against the current National Construction Code, the Building Fire Safety Regulation 2008 and the relevant Australian Standards, and have them certified by a suitably qualified practitioner.
Queensland uses a Fire Danger Index of 40 under AS 3959:2018, so the separation distance needed to achieve a given Bushfire Attack Level differs from states on a different FDI. These are the distances the BAL Calculator returns for QLD on a flat site – measured from classified vegetation to the building.
| Vegetation | BAL-FZ | BAL-40 | BAL-29 | BAL-19 | BAL-12.5 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Forest Class A | 4 m | 7 m | 10 m | 14 m | 40 m |
| Woodland Class B | 3 m | 6 m | 8 m | 12 m | 20 m |
| Shrubland Class C | 3 m | 5 m | 7 m | 10 m | 20 m |
| Scrub Class D | 2 m | 4 m | 6 m | 8 m | 15 m |
| Grassland Class E | 2 m | 3 m | 5 m | 7 m | 20 m |
| Rainforest Class F | 2 m | 3 m | 5 m | 7 m | 12 m |
| Plantation Class G | 3 m | 6 m | 8 m | 12 m | 20 m |
Indicative output of the BAL Calculator on a flat site; downslope increases every distance. Always verify against AS 3959:2018, the current National Construction Code and your consent authority.
In Queensland, the statutory document is the Fire Safety Installation Schedule, issued under the Building Fire Safety Regulation 2008. Building owners must then provide a Fire Safety Statement each year confirming the essential safety measures have been inspected and maintained.
Yes. The ESM Manager tracks every essential safety measure, schedules its AS 1851 inspections and flags defects, then helps you produce the Fire Safety Statement for Queensland. The Fire Safety Schedule tool generates the Fire Safety Installation Schedule for Construction Certificate submissions.
The BAL Calculator runs AS 3959:2018 assessments using Queensland's Fire Danger Index of 40, accounting for vegetation class, separation distance and effective slope to determine the Bushfire Attack Level and its construction requirements.
