All pool fences in Queensland must now be compliant, hence the importance of Pool Safety Inspections.

How QLD Pool Laws effect you

In this article we will cover the importance of pool safety inspections and how QLD pool laws effect you.

It is known that compliant pool fences and spa fences save lives in Queensland. Since the Queensland Pool Safety Legislation has hit full effect in December 2015, every pool fence in Queensland must be compliant with the Pool Safety Laws; simply saying I didn’t know isn’t acceptable. There are hefty fines for pool owners with non-compliant pool and spa fences across Brisbane and Queensland.

<h2>The Importance of a Pool Safety Certificate</h2>
Where the law gets confusing is when a pool owner needs to have a safety certificate. You only need a safety certificate if you plan on selling or leasing your property, and these are valid for two years on residential pools. Shared pools such as hotels, motels, backpacker accommodation and hostels must have a pool safety certificate which needs to be renewed every 12 months. Note: Just because you don’t need a current Pool Safety Certificate does not mean that you can have a non-compliant pool fence. All pool barriers in QLD must now meet the current QLD poo fencing regulations – no exemptions.
