Canberra businesses and government agencies need an emergency plan under work health and safety law, and evacuation diagrams drawn to AS 3745 are the part of it people see on the wall. The ACT Emergency Services Agency (ESA) and ACT Fire & Rescue oversee compliance across the Australian Capital Territory. Whether your building is in Civic, Barton, Woden, or the surrounding town centres, the same duty applies to commercial and government premises alike.
Canberra is Australia's capital city and the seat of the federal government. The territory has a unique mix of large Commonwealth government buildings, diplomatic premises, defence facilities, and a growing commercial sector. The planned city layout with distinct town centres (Civic, Woden, Belconnen, Tuggeranong, Gungahlin) means evacuation requirements vary across different precincts. The ACT's bushfire risk, highlighted by the devastating 2003 Canberra bushfires, adds an extra dimension to emergency planning for buildings near the urban-bushland interface.

Local fire authority: ACT Fire & Rescue (part of ACT Emergency Services Agency)
ACT Fire & Rescue, operating under the ACT Emergency Services Agency, enforces fire safety compliance across the Australian Capital Territory. The ACT Building Act 2004 and associated fire safety regulations require building owners to maintain essential fire safety measures, including current evacuation diagrams. The ACT has its own planning and building code framework that references the National Construction Code.

“We were fitting out a new clinic and needed evacuation diagrams before opening. John drew them from our architect's plan, no site visit needed, and the first draft was with us within days. Really easy.”
“We needed five evacuation plans for a client's three-level office fit-out. John drew them from the designer's as-built drawings, no site visit, and the set went to our client the day it arrived. John was responsive, proactive and extremely clear in communication. Extremely pleased with the process and delivered product. Would highly recommend to any landlord or facilities management teams.”
Canberra FAQ
Do Commonwealth buildings in Canberra follow AS 3745 or different federal rules?
Commonwealth buildings follow AS 3745 like any other premises, plus any agency-specific security requirements (relevant for defence and intelligence facilities). The base building diagram is AS 3745-compliant; security overlays are handled separately by the agency security officer.
How does ACT Fire & Rescue audit commercial premises in Civic and Woden?
ACT Fire & Rescue conducts compliance inspections under the ACT Building Act 2004. They focus on essential fire safety measures including current AS 3745 diagrams. Buildings that fail can receive a notice requiring rectification within a specified timeframe.
Do diagrams need to address bushfire risk in outer ACT suburbs?
AS 3745 diagrams document building evacuation routes regardless of trigger. For premises near the urban-bushland interface, the diagram is one input to a broader bushfire-aware Emergency Management Plan that also covers exterior assembly area selection and traffic egress.
