Abstract

The Fire Advisory Panel of the Heritage Council of New South Wales brings together representatives from the professions, the regulatory authorities and the fire protection industry. Its purpose is to advise on appropriate fire protection measures for historic buildings which will provide an adequate level of fire safety but have the minimum effect on the significant fabric of the building. The paper includes examples of the Panel's work relating both to specific buildings (such as the Queen Victoria Building and the Carrington Hotel, Katoomba), and also to more general problems affecting a wide range of buildings: for example, upgrading of existing timber panelled doors. The results of this work indicate that appropriate and cost-effective fire protection can be designed so as to enable historic buildings to continue to be used and enjoyed in safety.
