Under the Fire Safety Standard, fire safety measures in tourist and visitor accommodation buildings in the Alpine Region must be maintained and annually certified.
If this is not done through an annual fire safety statement, your tourism and visitor accommodation building must be registered and have fire safety measures certified annually on the Alpine building fire safety register (ABFSR).
The ABFSR is similar to the Short-Term Rental Accommodation Register that applies elsewhere in NSW. As with the Short-Term Rental Accommodation Register, a key function of the register is to ensure that building fire safety measures in tourist accommodation remain operational and effective over time.
Buildings that need to be on the Alpine building fire safety register must be registered before they can be used by tourists and visitors. The owner or property manager must renew the building's registration each year by updating their registration details and certifying that the building provides all required fire safety measures and that they are maintained and operating correctly.
