Queensland Smoke Alarm Rules

Every Rental property and properties being sold in Queensland must meet the new legislation from the 1st of January, 2022.

The new legislation commenced on the 1st of January 2017 and the changes are being phased in over 10 years. All homes must move to interconnected, photoelectric smoke alarms by 2027. Click here to read the Qld Governments newsroom article.

The new legislation changes from 1st of January 2022 means that all domestic dwellings leased or sold must comply with the new laws. This means interconnected smoke alarms must be installed in bedrooms, hallways and at least one smoke alarm on every floor of the dwelling.

There are approximately 500,000 rental properties in QLD, and with every property needing to be compliant by the deadline there is a good chance that some properties will not be ready in time.

As regulators, the QFES can prosecute for non-compliance.

Thinking of selling? All Queensland dwellings sold on or after 1st January, 2022 must comply with the new smoke alarm laws.

Frequently Asked Questions About Smoke Alarms

What is a Photoelectric smoke alarm?

Photoelectric smoke alarms respond to a wide range of fires but are particularly responsive to smouldering fires and dense smoke, the most common type of household fire. A photoelectric smoke alarm uses a light beam to help detect the presence of smoke particles.

Why do smoke alarms need to be interconnected?

Having interconnected alarms means when one alarm is activated, all alarms will sound. The extra time that gives you can make all the difference.
Our senses are limited when we are sleeping and most house fires start during the night, therefore having an interconnected smoke alarm in the bedrooms can help save lives.

What should I look for when buying a property?

From 1^st of January 2022 all dwellings being leased or sold must have photoelectric, interconnected smoke alarms:
- On each storey
- In each bedroom
- In hallways that connect bedrooms and the rest of the dwelling
- If there is no hallway, between the bedroom and other parts of the storey; and
- If there are no bedrooms on a storey, at least one smoke alarm must be installed in the most likely path of travel to exit the dwelling.
