AS 2304 Fire Storage Tanks for Fire Protection Systems
Reliable | Compliant | Heavy-Duty
A dedicated fire storage tank is an essential solution for rural, residential, and commercial
properties across Australia that need a reliable on-site water supply for firefighting and
emergency response. In bushfire-prone areas and properties without reticulated water,
having immediate access to stored water can play a critical role in improving safety,
protecting assets, and supporting emergency preparedness. For fire protection applications,
the tank must be designed and installed to suit the system it supports, with careful
consideration given to capacity, access, outlet configuration, and long-term durability. In
Australia, AS 2304:2019 – Water storage tanks for fire protection systems sets out the
minimum requirements for the design, construction, installation, and commissioning of
tanks used for fire protection purposes. Depending on the project, additional fire system,
planning, and NCC requirements may also apply.
