Victor Harbor Building Fire Safety Committee
The Victor Harbor Building Fire Safety Committee has been established under Section 157 (17) of the Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act 2016, as the appropriate authority to administer the fire safety legislation.
The Victor Harbor Building Fire Safety Committee consists of Council staff, a person with prescribed qualifications in Building Surveying and a person with expertise in the area of fire safety, along with a representative from the South Australian Metropolitan Fire Service and the Country Fire Service. The committee meets regularly to undertake inspections of buildings within the City of Victor Harbor and, where necessary, will request that the level of fire safety within buildings be upgraded to a satisfactory standard.
The Victor Harbor Building Fire Safety Committee's agenda for evaluating existing buildings is based on a risk management approach and in general, the committee focuses on the following building types:
- Aged care and supported residential facilities
- Hotels/motels and other accommodation buildings
- Buildings where large numbers of people may congregate
- Warehouses, factories, shops, offices and other commercial buildings
Due to the sensitive nature of matters included, a copy of the agenda and minutes of meetings will not be published on Council’s website.
