Why, when a new regulation is put in place for a
realised need, do we not bring other installations in line to meet that
need at the same time?
Commendations to NSW Minister for Planning & Infrastructure, Brad Hazzard, who announced today that all aged care facilities (ACF) across NSW will now be required to be fitted with automatic fire sprinkler systems.
All new ACF buildings have required these measures since 2002 and now all existing facilities begin, in January 2013, to require the same requirement. This means about 600 buildings across NSW which currently do not comply and this represents approximately 55% of the existing NSW ACF operators who will now have up to 3 yrs to install wet fire systems.
The Fire Protection Association Australia also commends the move - “In light of the tragic loss of life that occurred in the Quakers Hill nursing home fire in November 2011, it is fantastic to see the NSW Government delivering this vital reform...” - FPA Australia CEO Scott Williams.
