The latest smoke alarm legislation in Queensland is designed with your safety in mind. It mandates that interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms be installed in all bedrooms and adjacent hallways to ensure rapid detection and response to fires.
This new design-plan gives you precious time to evacuate your loved ones. The new requirements are not compulsory for homeowners until January 2027, however this doesn’t have to stop you from making the changes now to safeguard your family.
For a detailed look at these regulations, you can check out the official guidelines right here.
Interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms are the gold standard in fire safety. These devices are adept at catching smouldering fires quickly—fires that can spread silently while you sleep. Once one alarm senses smoke, all alarms throughout your home will sound off.
This network of alarms ensures no corner of your home is left unprotected, no matter where a fire breaks out, making it essential for both large and small homes alike.
We’ll ask you some questions about your property, give you more information to know what changes to expect and give you a free quote per alarm installed.
