Application
Application 1: 
Fire separation referred to in Sentence 3.3.2.13.(3) between a stage and a seating area, where:
  • the building is sprinklered throughout, and
  • a sprinkler deluge system is installed at the boundary between the stage and the seating area.
This applies to assembly occupancies in buildings described in Sentence 1.3.3.2.(1) of Division A.
Application 2: 
This also applies to:
  • tents and air-supported structures, as stated in Sentences 3.1.6.1.(1) and 9.10.1.2.(1), and
  • buildings to which Part 9 applies [see Sentence 1.3.3.3.(1) of Division A for application of Part 9], as stated in Sentence 9.10.1.2.(2).

Intent
Intent 1: 
To supersede the requirements of Sentence 3.3.1.13.(3) by waiving the requirement for a fire separation between the stage and the seating area on the basis that the building is sprinklered throughout and a sprinkler deluge system is installed at the stage opening.
This is to limit the probability that a fire originating in the stage or other parts of the building will not be controlled or suppressed, which could lead to the spread of fire to the seating area, which could lead to delays in the evacuation or movement of persons to a safe place, which could lead to harm to persons.
