E-Petition

The Petition of residents of the State of Queensland draws to the attention of the House that flyscreens are not mandatory on windows and doors for Queensland homes.

One of the most significant benefits of fly screens is the improvement in indoor air quality that they provide. By keeping out insects, fly screens also prevent dust, pollen, and other airborne particles from entering homes. This is especially beneficial for those who suffer from allergies or respiratory problems, as it can help reduce symptoms and improve overall health.

Fly screens are an excellent way to reduce energy consumption in your home. During the summer months, many of us rely on air conditioning to keep our homes cool. However, this can be a costly exercise. By installing fly screens, windows and doors can be kept open to allow fresh air in while keeping insects out, meaning less reliance on air conditioning, resulting in lower energy bills.

Fly screens are also an excellent way to improve the security of homes. They act as a barrier, preventing insects and other unwanted visitors from entering homes, making it more difficult for burglars to gain entry. Additionally, some fly screens are designed to be tamper-proof, further increasing their effectiveness as a security measure.

Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to change the law so fly screens are mandatory on all windows and doors in homes throughout Queensland.
