Understanding Pool Compliance Standards
Queensland’s pool safety standards are to protect young children from gaining unsupervised access to pools. These standards cover various aspects, including the height and strength of barriers. They also address non-climbable zones, gate latching requirements, and preventing direct access from your property to pool areas.
Making sure your pool meets these standards is a legal requirement and a crucial step in safeguarding lives. As a homeowner, understanding and complying with these regulations will prevent severe penalties, reduce stress, and maintain the value of your property.
