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.
We also offer a Basic Checklist in a printable PDF version. Print it out and take it around your pool with you as you measure up.
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.
