- **Event Description**: Learn how to safely repair or replace roofs in NSW bushfire Flame Zones with clear steps to meet legal & fire safety rules and regulations.About this EventWhen repairing, replacing, or building a roof in the NSW Flame Zone (BAL-FZ), compliance is strict and mandatory. This focused briefing clarifies the exact approval pathways to help you avoid costly errors, define the right scope, and prepare documentation that meets assessment standards.You’ll receive a clear, practical walkthrough of the BAL-FZ planning process, how the Planning for Bush Fire Protection (PBP 2019) treats BAL-FZ as performance-based, and what the NCC (BCA) NSW variation means in practice—especially regarding Deemed-to-Satisfy versus performance solutions. We simplify policy and code language into plain English with actionable takeaways for immediate use. The session also covers testing protocols and how to identify products compliant with AS1530.8.2.Who should attend: Builders, roofers, Bushfire Planning and Design Practitioners, developers, project managers, architects, certifiers, council staff, insurers, suppliers, consultants, owner-builders/homeowners in bushfire-prone areas, real estate professionals, and anyone wanting to understand Flame Zone roof replacement in NSW.The event starts at 3:30 pm with a 30-minute presentation, followed by Q&A and industry networking. At 5 pm, enjoy a sausage sizzle and a community welcome, including a short talk at 6 pm. The event concludes by 7 pm. Attendees will have the chance to see tested roofing systems and materials in action.By the end of this session, attendees will be able to identify the correct approval pathway for BAL-FZ roof repair or replacement in NSW and explain why a development consent (DA) pathway is required. They will distinguish between Exempt/Complying options and consent-based pathways, understanding why Exempt/Complying options do not apply to BAL-FZ roof works. Participants will gain insight into how PBP 2019 applies in practice to the Flame Zone, specifically what performance-based design means at the roof level. They will learn to interpret the NCC (BCA) NSW variation as it relates to BAL-FZ, including the implications for AS 3959 and anticipated changes expected in NCC 2025. The session will also prepare attendees to anticipate consent conditions and consultation steps, such as when the consent authority may liaise with the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS), enabling them to prepare documentation accordingly. Finally, participants will develop an understanding of the testing regimes for building systems as well as how to interpret testing reports.Session outlineWelcome & context — Why Flame Zone roof work is different in NSW.Approval pathways in plain English — Consent pathway for BAL‑FZ roof repairs/replacements; why Exempt or Complying routes are out.Policy & codes deep‑dive — PBP 2019 in the Flame Zone (performance‑based) and how the NCC (NSW variation) shapes practical design choices.Documentation & evidence — What to prepare to support a smooth assessment (drawings, specifications, performance solution rationale, typical consent conditions).Testing to BAL FZPractical Q&A https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/df199d80-4c18-11f1-ad10-af1c0000fe82-rimg-w1200-h711-dcd4d6db-gmir.jpg Agenda🕑: 03:30 PM - 04:00 PM Presentation – Overview of BAL-FZ Roof Compliance in NSW 4🕑: 04:00 PM - 05:30 PMQ&A Session and Industry Networking🕑: 05:00 PM - 06:00 PMSausage Sizzle and Community Welcome🕑: 06:00 PM - 06:30 PMShort Community Talk🕑: 06:30 PM - 07:00 PMDemonstrations – Tested Roofing Systems and Materials in Action
