Fire Safety & Compliance Tweed Shire

Tweed Shire’s Local Experts in Fire Compliance & STRA Standards

From the busy hubs of Tweed Heads and South Tweed to the premium holiday rentals of Kingscliff, Casuarina, and Cabarita Beach, Fireshift provides essential fire safety maintenance tailored to the unique needs of the Tweed region.

With the 2026 NSW Fire Safety Reforms now in full effect, property owners and managers face stricter requirements for annual certification and routine servicing. We provide the “boots on the ground” service needed to keep your property safe, legal, and audit-ready.

Our Specialized Tweed Services

1. Tweed Coast Airbnb & STRA Compliance

The Tweed Coast is a hotspot for Short-Term Rental Accommodation (STRA). To stay listed on the NSW Planning Portal, hosts must meet the STRA Fire Safety Standard. We simplify this process:

  • Wireless Interconnected Smoke Alarms: We supply and install 10-year lithium battery alarms that talk to each other—no electrician or messy wiring required.
  • Fire Extinguisher & Blanket Bundles: Mandatory 2.5kg ABE extinguishers and fire blankets, serviced and tagged to AS 1851-2012.
  • STRA-Compliant Evacuation Diagrams: Custom-designed maps featuring the mandatory “Emergency+” app advice and pictorial exit paths.

2. Commercial & Industrial Maintenance (South Tweed & Murwillumbah)

Tweed’s industrial and retail sectors require rigorous 6-monthly testing. We service:

  • Fire Hose Reels & Hydrant Points: Routine annual flow testing and visual inspections.
  • Portable Fire Equipment: Maintenance for high-risk environments, including workshops and commercial kitchens.
  • Exit & Emergency Lighting: 90-minute discharge testing to ensure safe egress during power failures.

3. Real Estate & Strata Services

We partner with Tweed Shire property managers to provide 24-hour turnaround on:

  • Smoke Alarm Compliance Certificates: Essential for new tenancies and property sales.
  • Annual Routine Maintenance: Ensuring all common area fire equipment is tagged and ready for the Annual Fire Safety Statement (AFSS).

The Fireshift Advantage in the Tweed

  • Cross-Border Expertise: We understand the specific NSW legislative requirements that Gold Coast-based companies often overlook.
  • Local Response Times: Based in the region, we don’t make you wait weeks for a simple tag or battery replacement.
  • Transparent Service Logs: Every visit is tracked via ServiceM8, providing you with an instant, cloud-based 7-year history of every asset we service.

We provide comprehensive coverage across the Tweed Shire, including:

  • Tweed Heads & South Tweed: Retail, Industrial, and Commercial.

Our Professional Standards & Disclaimers

To ensure the highest level of safety and clarity for our clients, Fireshift operates with the following professional boundaries:

  • Maintenance Focused (No Licensed Trade Work): We are fire safety technicians. We do not perform licensed electrical work (hard-wiring) or licensed plumbing/trade work. For any repairs requiring a licensed tradesperson, we provide a detailed report and can refer you to a local Tweed-based specialist.
  • Functional Testing Only: Our smoke alarm and exit light services are limited to functional testing, cleaning, and battery replacement. We do not install 240V wired systems.
  • Independent AFSS Process: To maintain the integrity of your Annual Fire Safety Statement (AFSS), Fireshift performs all Routine Maintenance (AS 1851). We then facilitate an audit by an independent Accredited Practitioner to sign the final statement, ensuring you have a “second set of eyes” for maximum safety.
