Strata fire safety compliance software for Central Coast
Gosford's high-rise renewal and the unit stock spread from Terrigal to The Entrance put the Central Coast firmly inside the NSW AS 1851 regime. Coast-based strata managers and building managers need the same audit-ready records as Sydney CBD towers - inspections to schedule, logbooks on site, AFSS lodged on time.
What New South Wales requires of Central Coast buildings
AS 1851-2012 routine servicing (mandatory since 13 February 2026) + Annual Fire Safety Statement (AFSS)
Regulated by NSW Building Commission, Fire and Rescue NSW, local councils.
Monthly, quarterly, six-monthly, annual, 5-yearly, 10-yearly and 25-yearly inspection and test routines under AS 1851-2012, plus the Annual Fire Safety Statement lodged with council and Fire and Rescue NSW every 12 months.
The cost of missing it
Penalty notices stack weekly for a late AFSS - from $500 in week one to $4,000 per week from week four. Bannermans Lawyers has modelled combined exposure of up to $924,000 per month for a seriously non-compliant building.
