What matters for commercial trades in Darwin

  • The Northern Territory has no annual fire safety statement. The recurring duty sits in regulation 11 of the Fire and Emergency Regulations 1996, which requires the owner of a prescribed building to keep alarms, exit lights, emergency lighting and firefighting equipment maintained to standard and exits clear, with a maximum penalty of 100 penalty units.

  • The NT's annual obligation is training rather than certification. The owner of a prescribed building must give every worker fire safety instruction within 30 days of them starting and at least every 12 months after that, and must keep a register of it for inspection on demand.

  • The NT list of prescribed buildings in Schedule 2 of the Fire and Emergency Regulations 1996 is wide. It takes in offices, shopping complexes, factories and warehouses, health care buildings, child care centres, schools, assembly buildings, fuel depots, licensed premises and laboratories.

  • Building permits in the Northern Territory are issued by private registered building certifiers, not by councils. You must engage an NT registered building certifier for any work needing a permit, and the same certifier does the site inspections and issues occupancy certification.
