Smoke alarm compliance in Morayfield
I am based in Morayfield, so this is the one suburb where I can usually get to you the same week. Interconnected photoelectric alarms, fitted and documented.
Local, in the literal sense
Sound Asleep Alarms is run out of Morayfield. That is not a marketing line about being "locally owned" — it means the drive to you is minutes, I am not charging travel to get here, and if something needs a second look I am not scheduling it for a fortnight away.
What Morayfield houses typically need
Morayfield's housing runs from older homes near the original town through to the estates that filled in from the 1990s onward. Almost all of it predates 2017, which is the only date that matters here: interconnected alarms only became compulsory for new builds from 1 January 2017. Anything older was never required to have them, and almost never does.
For a standard three-bedroom single-storey Morayfield home that means four alarms — one in each bedroom, one in the hallway — all linked so they sound together.
| From | Applies to |
|---|---|
| 1 Jan 2017 | New homes, and existing homes undergoing substantial renovation |
| 1 Jan 2022 | Any home when it is sold or leased |
| 1 Jan 2027 | Every remaining home in Queensland — including the one you live in |
Built since 2017? You likely have interconnected alarms already. Check their age anyway — alarms must be under ten years old, so a 2017 fit-out is reaching its limit now.

Renting your Morayfield place out?
Then your deadline was 1 January 2022, not 2027, and you have to test and clean every alarm within 30 days before each new tenancy. See landlords and property managers.
