Fire protection is a non-negotiable responsibility for every commercial and industrial property in Landsborough and the wider Sunshine Coast Hinterland. From warehouses along Steve Irwin Way to retail tenancies on Cribb Street, building owners face strict Queensland fire regulations that demand correctly installed, regularly tested fire safety systems.
Positive Fire Protection Specialists is an independently owned Queensland fire protection services provider established in 2014, delivering full-service solutions to facility managers, body corporate committees, builders and property owners across the region. This guide covers everything you need to know about fire detection, wet and dry fire systems, hose reels, emergency lighting, and required information displayed on site.
Automatic fire sprinkler installation
Commonly required for warehouses, car parks, aged care facilities and large commercial tenancies. Systems must be designed to meet correct head spacing, water density and hydraulic performance for the specific occupancy type.
Fire pumps and water storage
Support hydrant and sprinkler networks for commercial and industrial properties. For hinterland sites where mains water pressure may be limited, on-site storage tanks and dedicated pumpsets are often essential.
Fire hose reels
Must be accessible, correctly labelled and unobstructed in car parks, loading docks and shared plant rooms. Each typically provides a coverage radius of 40 metres and cabinets must be clearly visible with compliant signage.
Smoke and heat detection systems
Required in retail spaces, offices and accommodation buildings. Detector type, placement and sensitivity are determined by ceiling height, room size, airflow conditions and occupancy classification.

Frequently asked questions — fire protection landsborough
What fire safety regulations apply to Landsborough commercial buildings?
Queensland fire safety standards govern fire protection compliance for all Class 2 to 9 buildings, which covers warehouses, retail, hospitality, aged care, strata complexes and most commercial premises. Building owners must comply with the Building Fire Safety Regulation 2008 and maintain prescribed fire safety installations.
When do I need to upgrade my fire protection systems?
Common triggers include change of tenancy or use, new fit-outs, expansion of warehouse space exceeding 500 square metres, and heritage or special-zone properties with additional council overlays. Compliance requires ongoing inspection, testing, maintenance and certification.
What is the difference between wet and dry fire systems?
Wet fire systems use water delivered through fixed or automatic networks to control or suppress fires, including sprinklers, hydrants and hose reels. Dry systems focus on detection, warning and control, including smoke detectors, alarms and evacuation speakers.
How often must emergency lighting be tested?
Functional testing must occur every six months, and a full 90-minute battery discharge test is required annually to confirm backup lighting will sustain evacuation time. Regular inspection and discharge testing is required under Australian standards.
