Building Industry - Applications for Fire Safety Reports and Consultation

Victorian Building Industry – update on FRV cyber-attack – June 2023

In December 2022, FRV was the victim of a malicious third party cyber-attack. Although most systems have been restored, FRV is still in a position that we cannot access the majority of our historical records from before the 15th of December 2022.

Accordingly, we recommend that all applications include relevant previous correspondence with FRV that dates back before the 15th of December 2022.

For example, for Regulation 129 applications this would include:

- Pre-129 letter of advice responses,

- FEB review responses,

- any relevant email correspondence

- etc

For Regulation 187 applications this would include:

- Previous R129 application/s,

- regulation 129 report/s

- any email correspondence with FRV that occurred after the R129 was issued.

FRV apologises for any inconvenience this unexpected outage has caused.

All details relating to making an application can be found on the relevant application form, found under the tabs below.

Relevant FRV Bulletins can also be accessed on this page
