Currumbin Waters is established family housing, popular with families and renters alike. We’re about 10 minutes from our Burleigh Waters base, so we know the local housing and what it takes to get it compliant.
We install compliant, interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms across Currumbin Waters (4223) from $99 + GST per alarm. A 4-bedroom Currumbin Waters home usually needs 5 alarms. Every Queensland home must comply by 1 January 2027 — rentals and homes being sold already had to, back in 2022.
Mostly single-storey 3 and 4 bedroom homes on standard blocks. A good share are rentals — and rentals have needed compliant interconnected alarms since 2022, so those owners cannot wait for 2027.
A 4-bedroom Currumbin Waters home usually needs 5 alarms. That’s a guide, not a quote — the real number depends on your layout, which our online quote works out in about two minutes.
| Location | What’s required |
|---|---|
| Inside every bedroom | One in each bedroom |
| Hallways connecting bedrooms to the rest of the home | One in each connecting hallway |
| Where bedrooms aren’t served by a hallway | Between the bedrooms and the rest of the dwelling |
| Every storey of the home | At least one, even with no bedrooms |
A 4-bedroom Currumbin Waters home usually needs 5 alarms. But the legal count depends on layout, not bedroom count — one alarm in every bedroom, one in each hallway connecting bedrooms to the rest of the home, and at least one on every storey. Bedrooms at opposite ends of a house can each need their own hallway alarm. Our online quote gives you the exact number.
Yes — Currumbin Waters is one of our core service areas. We’re about 10 minutes from our Burleigh Waters base. Every job in Currumbin Waters is done by Ryan Tait, a licensed electrician — we never subcontract.
$99 + GST per alarm, whether it’s 240V hardwired or a 10-year wireless unit. A Property Sale or Rental Smoke Alarm Report is $119 + GST. No call-out fees, no lock-in contracts, and a smoke alarm report is included with installation.
Now. Rental properties and homes being sold have needed compliant interconnected photoelectric alarms since 1 January 2022. The 1 January 2027 deadline applies to owner-occupied homes. Landlords must also have the alarms tested and cleaned within 30 days before every new or renewed tenancy.
Usually a mix, and the legislation decides. If an existing alarm is 240V hardwired, its replacement must also be 240V — that’s an electrician’s job by law. Additional alarms needed to meet the placement rules can be 10-year wireless lithium units, interconnected with the rest. We install both at the same $99 + GST.
