Flood resilient design is one of the many ways Queenslanders can build their resilience to floods.

The RHF Contractor Quoting tool was created to provide a standardised method of quoting for Industry Builders participating in the Resilient Homes Fund (RHF). (Includes Contractor Quoting tool download).

This Industry Guidance for Flood Resilient Homes provides information about improving the flood resilience of new and existing Queensland homes.

Queensland homeowners who experienced damage to their residential property as a result of flooding in 2021–22 can now register their interest for the $741 million Resilient Homes Fund.

Specifies the requirements for the safety of persons and property, provides guidance for the protection of the environment, and establishes procedures for the operation, maintenance, and repair of refrigerating systems and the recovery of refrigerants.

Sets out a hot smoke test methodology by means of which a specified quantity of smoke may be generated, at a safe temperature, within a building.

Outlines a performance-based approach to the maintenance of cooling water systems with respect to the control of microorganisms, including Legionellae, within such systems. This approach combines automatically regulated water treatment with monitoring, assessment and control strategies to help create a low risk environment within the cooling water system.

This Standard provides an unambiguous system for assigning designations to refrigerants. It also establishes a system for assigning a safety classification to refrigerants based on toxicity and flammability data, and provides a means of determining the refrigerant concentration limit.

Specifies requirements for the performance and construction of air filters for use in general ventilation and airconditioning systems. It classifies air filters on the basis of design, construction performance and application and establishes minimum criteria for acceptance of an air filter into a particular category. It does not apply to HEPA filters.

Specifies the classification of smoke-spill fans, and the laboratory test methods and procedures used to rate their performance (and that of their motors). Fans are rated in terms of their suitability to operate continuously without significant loss of performance, for a specified time at a specified air temperature. This Standard deals only with laboratory type-testing and does not consider the testing of smoke-spill fans after they have been installed in a building.
