Who is responsible for burglar alarms? It depends on the time of installation, who installed them, where they are situated etc.

Smoke alarms, whether or not connected to the fire board in the building, are considered fire safety equipment and are subject to the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and regulations (among other legislation).

Who is responsible for burglar alarms depends on the time of installation, who installed them, where they are situated etc.
