Electronic Lodgement Form

Important Information

Purpose of This Form

This form is intended to capture detailed project information and provide supporting documentation required for DFES Assessment as part of the building permit application process.

Important Note

This lodgement form applies strictly to a single standalone building only. Separate electronic lodgement forms must be submitted in the following cases:

  • For multiple standalone buildings located on the same allotment.
  • Projects that extend beyond a single allotment boundary.

Information on Revised Submissions

All amendment and additions to revised reports, plans and specifications submitted for further DFES assessment must be clearly identified, with the exception of formatting-related changes.

The below extract from GL-15 provides direction on what is required:

  • "6.4 If the FER is a reissue of a previous FER, then to allow DFES to provide advice on the changed sections only; the changed text sections should be coloured in a different colour to the main body of text e.g. blue text instead of black text, and changes should be referred to in the revision history table at the front of the report.”

For further information on lodging to DFES, please refer to GL-07.

Type of Submission

The Fire Engineer should ensure that the Building Surveyor is provided with fire modelling input & output data for FER + DTS Plans submissions to DFES





This form can only be used to lodge an Alarm Investigation Facility Submission
DFES does not accept the submission of an Alarm Investigation Facility for a new building

This is not in line with the International Fire Engineering Guidelines. The practice of developing an FEB in consultation with all stakeholders is considered an integral part of the fire engineering process by DFES, and the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety.
