What the Rules Say About Maintaining Your Building
A plain-English summary of the Queensland duties a maintenance plan helps you keep on top of.
The Occupier Maintains Fire Safety Installations
The occupier must maintain prescribed fire safety installations to a standard of safety and reliability at all times. QFD's maintenance checklist covers exit signs and emergency lighting.
Emergency Lights Have a Logbook
QFD guidance says exit signs and emergency lights need six-monthly and annual inspections, by a licensed electrician or appropriately qualified person, recorded in a logbook.
An Occupier's Statement Each Year
The occupier keeps an occupier statement for the maintenance of all fire safety installations and sends a copy to the Commissioner each year.
Keep the Records
Fire safety records must be kept for at least 2 years. Copies are kept in the building, with another copy kept somewhere else.
Businesses Manage Electrical Risk
A business must manage the electrical risks to health and safety at its workplace, in line with the Work Health and Safety Regulation.

Unsafe Equipment Stays Off
A business must disconnect electrical equipment under its control that it has reasonable grounds to believe is unsafe, and keep it off until it's repaired or tested safe, or replaced or removed.

Electrical Maintenance Contract FAQ
Questions Gold Coast businesses, body corporates and property managers ask us about maintenance plans.
What is a preventative electrical maintenance plan?
It's a schedule of regular inspections, testing and repairs for a building's electrical system, agreed at a fixed price. Instead of waiting for something to fail, a licensed electrician checks things like switchboards, safety switches, lighting and emergency lights on a set cycle. Problems found early can often be fixed at a planned time rather than after a breakdown, and the cost of the scheduled work is known up front.
What's included in your fixed-price maintenance plans?
Each plan is set after we inspect the site, so contents vary. It can draw on switchboard inspections and testing, thermal imaging scans, safety switch testing, emergency and exit light inspections, common-area and car park lighting, and repairs to power points, switches and intercoms. We agree the scope with you before the plan starts, and repairs outside the plan are quoted at a fixed price before we start.
How much does an electrical maintenance contract cost on the Gold Coast?
It depends on the building, so we don't price a plan before we've inspected it. The main factors are the size of the site, the number of switchboards, how many emergency lights need inspecting, how often each item is checked, whether thermal imaging is included, and access. After the inspection you get one fixed figure for the scheduled work, so the cost is known in advance.
How often will you inspect my building?
It depends on the building and what's in it. Queensland Fire Department guidance says exit signs and emergency lights need six-monthly and annual inspections, so those visits set a minimum rhythm for many sites. Other items, such as switchboard inspections and thermal scans, are scheduled to suit the building and how hard it's used. We agree the schedule with you when we set the plan.
Who is responsible for maintaining emergency lighting?
The occupier. QFD guidance says the Fire Services Act 1990 requires the occupier to maintain prescribed fire safety installations, and its checklist covers exit signs and emergency lighting. Queensland Government guidance says a tenant who occupies a building must ensure installations are maintained, and in multi-tenancy buildings the building manager is responsible for common areas. Records must be kept for at least 2 years.
Does a maintenance plan help with compliance?
It helps you keep up with it. Emergency lighting inspections need to be logged, and the occupier sends the Queensland Fire Department an occupier statement each year. A plan keeps those inspections on a schedule. Under the Electrical Safety Regulation 2026, businesses must also manage electrical risks at the workplace, and the regulation lists maintenance and testing of electrical equipment among those risks.
What types of buildings suit a maintenance plan?
Buildings where an electrical failure would cause a safety risk, downtime or a compliance headache. That can include offices, shops, hospitality venues, warehouses, and strata and high-rise residential buildings. Sites with a lot of common-area lighting, car parks, emergency lights or several switchboards tend to get the most from a scheduled plan, because there is more to keep track of.
Can thermal imaging find faults before they cause a shutdown?
Often, yes. A loose or overloaded connection runs hotter than the parts around it, and a thermal camera can show that heat while the switchboard is carrying load. Finding it early means it can be fixed at a planned time. We hold a Level 1 thermal imaging qualification, and scans can be built into your maintenance plan or booked on their own.
