Shared Tenancies and Split Responsibilities

When multiple coworking operators share a single building, emergency planning responsibilities become significantly more complex.

Queensland regulations don’t provide clear guidance on how to allocate emergency planning duties across multiple tenants.

This hub addresses the practical and compliance challenges that arise in these increasingly common arrangements.

What we see in practice

  Lease agreements often lack clear emergency planning responsibility clauses

  Building management involvement varies significantly across different arrangements
  Communication between operators is frequently inadequate
  Warden coordination across tenancies is often poorly defined
  Compliance auditors struggle with split-responsibility scenarios
