Pool safety
Pool compliance checklist
If you're a pool owner, maintaining your pool includes more than just testing the water. Your pool fence or barrier must also be regularly checked.
There are strict laws about fence height, gate latches and other necessary inclusions, and you can learn more about these legal requirements with our easy-to-use interactive pool compliance checklist. It will help you find out whether any areas of your pool barrier need attention by explaining some basic scenarios. Naturally, we will always recommend you talk to a pool safety inspector if you're unsure, or your circumstances require personalised advice.
Tip - try using the QBCC Homeowner app to record the details of any problem areas. You can download the app from iTunes or the Google Play store.
