Western Australian Consolidated Acts Western Australian Consolidated Acts (1) If a local
government is of opinion that a building is so constructed that there would in
case of fire be a danger to persons using it because of the lack of adequate
provision of fire escapes, it may serve upon the owner of the building a
written requisition to install or erect in or on the building fire escapes to
the number and specification set out in the requisition.
(2) A person so served
with a requisition to install or erect fire escapes, if dissatisfied with the
requisition, may apply to the State Administrative Tribunal for a review of
the requisition.
(3) If the person so
served with the requisition does not apply to the State Administrative
Tribunal for a review of the requisition, or if the State Administrative
Tribunal confirms the requisition, the person shall, within 12 months
after the service upon him of the requisition, install or erect in or on the
building fire escapes to the number and specification set out in the
requisition.
(4) Before commencing
the installation or erection of fire escapes under this section, the owner of
the building shall submit to the local government plans and specifications in
accordance with the provisions of this Part.
