🚨 QUEENSLAND HOMEOWNERS — IS YOUR HOME READY FOR 1 JANUARY 2027? 🏠
By 1 January 2027, all Queensland homes—including the home you live in—must meet the updated smoke alarm requirements.
Your smoke alarms must be:
✅ Photoelectric and compliant with AS 3786–2014.
✅ Interconnected—when one sounds, they all sound.
✅ Installed in every bedroom, in hallways connecting bedrooms, and on every storey.*
✅ Working and less than 10 years old.
✅ Hardwired or powered by a non-removable 10-year battery, as applicable to your home.
*Where there’s no hallway, alarms are required in rooms connecting bedrooms. Storeys without bedrooms need an alarm along the exit path.
Selling or renting your property? These requirements already apply.
