All Queensland dwellings, including owner-occupied homes, must have compliant interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms by 1 January 2027. Rental properties are already required to comply.
Requirements under the Fire and Emergency Services Act 1990 include photoelectric smoke alarms in every bedroom, every hallway connecting bedrooms, and on every storey. Alarms must be hard-wired or use 10-year sealed lithium batteries and comply with Australian Standard AS 3786-2014. A typical installation for a three-bedroom property costs between $800 and $1,500.
