See section above – ‘Standard Building Applications -Inspection/Reinspection’.Building Change of Classification/UseAssessment/ReassessmentSome fees for Assessment/Reassessment of ‘Change of Classification/Use’ applications arenon-regulated and subject to GST while others are regulated and GST-exempt. The type offee is specified below for each type of ‘Change of Classification/Use’ application.Where the BAO has indicated that the Change of Classification/Use is for:A building which does contain SFSs; andA building ‘in existence’ before 14 December 1993; andThe Certifier has not requested that the building be assessed as a Standard BuildingApproval.The fee for Assessment/Reassessment is to be calculated at the regulated, hourly, generalInspection fee for each hour, or part of an hour, of the Inspection.Where the BAO has indicated that the Change of Classification/Use is for:A building which does contain SFSs; andA building ‘in existence’ before 14 December 1993; andThe Certifier has requested that the building be assessed as a Standard BuildingApproval.The fee for Assessment is the Deemed-to-Satisfy Assessment and Inspection fee which iscalculated using the formula Base Fee + SFSF. This fee is regulated and GST-exempt. Ifthe application is a Reassessment, the regulated, hourly, Reassessment fee for each (orpart of an) hour is charged.Version 0.1 July 2013Page 9

Where the BAO has indicated that the Change of Classification/Use is for: A building which does contain SFSs; and A building not ‘in existence’ before 14 December 1993.The fee for Assessment is the Deemed-to-Satisfy Assessment and Inspection fee which iscalculated using the formula Base Fee + SFSF. This fee is regulated and GST-exempt. Ifthe application is a Reassessment, the regulated, hourly, Reassessment fee for each (orpart of an) hour is charged.Where the BAO has indicated that the Change of Classification/Use is for:A building which does not contain SFSs; andThe Certifier has asked the QFRS to comment on the Fire Safety Considerations.The fee for Assessment/Reassessment is calculated at the hourly, BAO Consultancy rate.This fee is non-regulated and subject to GST.As there is no Inspection stage, no Inspection Report is generated and therefore noInspection fee is applicable. The BAO will visit the building as part of the Assessmentprocess to determine the suitability of the Fire Safety Considerations for the writing of thereport (Building Act 1975 s.112).Inspection/ReinspectionSome fees for Inspection/Reinspection of ‘Change of Classification/Use’ applications arenon-regulated and subject to GST while others are regulated and GST-exempt.

Calculated at the hourly BAO Consultancy fee rate.As there is no Inspection stage for ‘Request for Comment on a FEB’, the fee is calculated atthe initial application only.Fee Calculation for Non BCA Required Special Fire ServicesOutlined below are rules regarding the calculation of fees depending on whether or not SFSsincluded in a building approval application are required by the BCA. These rules apply onlyto Deemed-to-Satisfy Applications as the QFRS has jurisdiction on all FSIs/ SFSs in ASApplications.If a SFS is not required by the BCA and the Building Certifier requests the QFRS toassess/inspect, the BAO will assess/inspect and charge the appropriate fees. Thisrequest must be in writing e.g. email, to assist in clarification of fees to the applicant ifnecessary.If a SFS is not required by the BCA and the Building Certifier does not request theQFRS to assess, the BAO will not provide advice on that SFS (compliant/noncompliant) and not charge the fees for that SFS. This request must be in writing, forexample email, to assist in clarification of fees to the applicant if necessary.The CSOS will have the functionality to record that a non BCA required SFS has beeninstalled, but not include this SFS in the calculation of fees in the event that the BuildingCertifier does not request the SFS to be assessed.The Assessment/Inspection reports generated by the CSOS will include these 'non BCArequired SFS', however no jurisdictional points will be included. The CSOS will also providestandard commentary to be inserted in the Assessment/Inspection reports in theseinstances, which identify the SFSs for which “the QFRS have not assessed and for which theQFRS are not able to provide advice as per the SPR 2009 Schedule 7, Table 1 although it isexpected that the SFS complies to all relevant codes or standards".Fees Payable If Building Work Does Not Go AheadIf building work doesn’t go ahead after an Assessment Report is provided to theApplicant/Building Certifier and an invoiced issued, no refund on the fee paid or payable willoccur as the fees are for Assessment and Inspection and are not separated in the BFSR2008.Multiple Buildings on One ‘Application to Assess’The QFRS will separate a single ‘Application to Assess’ into multiple ’Applications’ if itincludes more than one assessable building. This is in alignment with the BFSR 2008 whichrefers to fees being applied for a ‘building’; however, see also the following Multiple BuildingApplications section.In the event that multiple separate assessable buildings on one site are included in anapplication, the QFRS will separate the application into relevant individual buildingapprovals. Each building will then be treated as a separate application for the site, (e.g.individual Assessment and Inspection reports) and nil fee is charged for the first Inspection(excluding interim inspections) of each building. The BAO will charge the appropriate basefee for each building and apply the SFS % for any SFS that are installed in each building(e.g. special automatic fire suppression systems) and will also apply the SFS % for any SFSthat serves that building (e.g. hydrant booster).Version 0.1 July 2013Page 12

Multiple Building Applications (MBAs)On the Application to Assess/Reassess Special Fire Services and/or Alternative SolutionDesign (Form CSO 020), applicants can elect to have buildings assessed as part of aMultiple Building Application. The QFRS will assess multiple buildings as a ‘MBA’ as long asthey:Are lodged on the same day; andAre for the same site; andHave the same billing customer; andHave the same Development Approval for Building Work number; andHave the same nature of application (that being either: Building Approval, Fit-out of aBuilding, or Fit-out (DTS) in an AS Building.In the event that multiple separate assessable buildings on one site are included in anapplication submitted as a MBA, the QFRS will nominate a ‘parent’ building and theremaining assessable buildings become ‘children’ for the purpose of producing one RFTI.Each building will then be treated as a separate job in the CSOS, (e.g. individualAssessment and Inspection reports); however, will be treated as a sum total as if it was onebuilding when calculating fees. A nil fee is charged for the first Inspection for the site (not perstructure) (excluding interim inspections). The BAO will charge the appropriate fees asoutlined in each section of this module.Fee Complaint/Enquiry ManagementIncluded in Appendix A is the process to be followed when managing fee related complaintsor enquiries.
