• Ensure your pool fence complies with the law
• Maintain the pool fence
• Ensure any objects (such as furniture, bbq, pot plants) that would allow children a foothold and access into the pool are clear of the non-climbable zone. The NCZ extends 900mm on the outside and 300mm on the inside of the pool fence. Nothing within the NCZ can reduce the minimum effective fence height of 1200mm. There should be no structures, landscaping or other fixtures within the NCZ.
• Repair any damage immediately.
• As required by legislation, all swimming pools must be enclosed by a compliant barrier. It is the responsibility of the body corporate to ensure that compliant pool barriers are in place at all times.

Neglecting to abide by these laws could lead to a tragedy at your property. If you have concerns regarding the fencing, gates not closing, or maintenance of your pool barrier, contact our team at PoolSure
