FAQs About Smoke Alarms on the Gold Coast
Do I need to upgrade my smoke alarms to comply with Queensland laws?
Possibly. Most homes in Queensland are now required to have interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms in prescribed locations. If your alarms are older, battery-only, ionisation type, or not interconnected, an upgrade may be required.
What type of smoke alarms are required in Queensland?
Queensland generally requires:
- Photoelectric smoke alarms
- Interconnected alarms
- Alarms that comply with Australian Standard AS 3786:2014
These can be hardwired or wireless-interconnected depending on the property and installation method.
Where do smoke alarms need to be installed?
Generally:
- Inside every bedroom
- In hallways connecting bedrooms
- On every storey
- Along paths of travel between bedrooms and exits
The exact requirements depend on the home's layout.
Do I need a smoke alarm in every bedroom?
For homes that must comply with Queensland's current smoke alarm requirements, yes.
This is one of the biggest changes from older smoke alarm standards.
How many smoke alarms does my house need?
It depends on:
- Number of bedrooms
- Number of storeys
- Floor plan layout
A typical three-bedroom single-storey home may require alarms in each bedroom plus additional alarms in hallways and connecting areas.
How old is too old for a smoke alarm?
Most smoke alarms should be replaced after 10 years from the manufacture date.
The manufacture date is usually printed on the alarm body.
