Liverpool City Council: lodging an AFSS (where to find the right instructions)
Council websites change. This page helps you find the current Liverpool lodgement instructions quickly, and gives the FRNSW lodgement link you’ll also need.
Quick answer
- Check the council’s current lodgement instructions for Liverpool City Council (links below).
- Prepare the AFSS using the approved form and ensure every schedule item is addressed.
- Lodge with both your council and Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW), then keep confirmations and your evidence register.
- If you want a structured workflow, download the NSW AFSS checklist PDF.
How to lodge (typical)
- Confirm schedule + due date: use council records/online services for the current Fire Safety Schedule.
- Collect evidence: servicing/testing reports for each measure; record defects and rectification.
- Complete the AFSS: use the approved form and keep it consistent with the schedule.
- Submit to council: follow the council’s nominated channel (online form / email / post / in person).
- Submit to FRNSW: lodge via FRNSW’s online pathway and keep the receipt.
Liverpool’s fire safety content appears to move between pages/documents; use the council site search for “Fire Safety Statement” and confirm the current submission channel.
What to include
- Signed AFSS (approved form)
- Current Fire Safety Schedule (keep a copy with the lodged statement)
- Evidence register + key reports (retain for your records; council may request details)

Tips
- Build a buffer: aim to finish inspections and rectification well before the due date.
- Use consistent file naming so next year is easier.
- If you manage multiple sites, keep a single register across properties.
