Smoke Alarm Information

Important information for all our Landlords to be aware of and action; Smoke alarm compliance is mandatory and crucial for ensuring the integrity of your property’s insurance cover.

 

Strict new Queensland smoke alarm legislation started taking effect from January 1, 2017. The new legislation states your property must meet the following requirements:

1. Smoke alarms must be installed in every bedroom
2. All smoke alarms must be powered by 240-volt or 10-year lithium battery
3. All smoke alarms must be interconnected to each other
4. All smoke alarms must be photoelectric
5. All smoke alarms must meet Australian Standard 3786:2014

If your property had building approval after 2017, you must meet these requirements now. If your property had building approval before 2017, you have until 2022 to meet these requirements.
