Australia’s leading fire protection conference will this year focus on community and infrastructure. Encompassing the protection of society’s assets, heritage and resources in a constantly changing world, presentations will address these and similar topics.

Being in a great venue on the world famous Gold Coast, with the Australian economy stronger than ever, we’re anticipating record attendance, and are planning for it in every respect.

CONFERENCE THEMES
This year’s presentations will cover many topics surrounding the theme of Communities and Infrastructure, and perhaps a few additional topical issues. Here are a few presentation topics being considered:
• Protecting heritage listed buildings – lessons from overseas
• The need for safe tunnels in increasingly complex urban areas
• Prescriptive protection in busy public areas – recent progress and change
• Bushfire prone area evacuation protocols – are they working
• Public buildings – protection v cost
• Protecting our heritage in bushfire areas – avoiding another Mount Stromlo
• The urban fringe under pressure – regulation and responsibilities
• How safe are building refurbishments – what’s being missed

ATTENDENCE
Fire Australia predominantly draws delegates from all states and territories of Australia as well as New Zealand and the Asia-Pacific region. The conference format will ensure industry issues are professionally presented and we expect a strong attendance from industry professionals including:
• Fire Consultants and Engineers
• Fire Service Personnel
• Fire Equipment Manufacturers, Distributors and Installers
• Regulatory Authorities and Legislators
• Insurance Professionals
• Facility Managers, Property Developers and Building
Owners
• Architects, Building Designers and Specifiers
• Building Surveyors
