Summary
Detail
If you receive a Fire Safety Upgrade Order from the local Council which specifies a required completion date you should at least make a token effort to complete the work by that date. Not because you might thereby save someone's life but just to give owners that touchy-feely impression that you actually care about their safety.
Ensure that the specified completion date of a fire safety upgrade order is complied with.

If you receive a Fire Safety Upgrade Order from the local Council which specifies a required completion date you should at least make a token effort to complete the work by that date. Not because you might thereby save someone's life but just to give owners that touchy-feely impression that you actually care about their safety.
If for example the order is issued on 13 January 2015 and states that compliance is required within 28 days, you should try to organise some of the work within those 28 days.
If an updated fire order is issued on 23 February 2015 and requires compliance within 3 months, you should once again make some attempt to comply. If you organise no work until 6 August an outside observer might feel that you had failed in your duty of care to the owners corporation.
That would be especially true if the small amount of work you did organise on 6 August was non-compliant (see Lesson 2.5), meaning that as at 11 September 2015 when you resigned as strata manager you had effectively arranged none of the fire safety upgrade you were first notified of via a Notice of Intent on 10 October 2014.
