Smoke Alarm Tips for Melbourne
Victoria requires photoelectric smoke alarms in all new homes and extensions — existing homes must upgrade when the property is sold or a new tenancy commences
Consumer Affairs Victoria actively enforces smoke alarm compliance for rental properties — landlords face fines for non-compliance
Melbourne's older housing stock (pre-1990 homes) often lacks the roof cavity space for easy hardwired installations — wireless systems can be a cost-effective alternative
Book compliance upgrades before the end of March or October when rental inspections peak — availability tightens significantly at these times
