Stage two of the State Government’s tough new pool laws have begun in time for the first day of summer, State Member for Pine Rivers, Carolyn Male MP said.

Carolyn Male MP said the new laws were designed to stop children drowning in new and unfamiliar environments. Previously no checks were required and many home owners who moved into new properties simply assumed their pools were compliant. Coronial reports found children died as a result.

Carolyn Male MP said under the new laws, homes leased or sold from 1 December would need to undergo a mandatory pool safety inspection and receive a compliance certificate.

“It’s important to remember not every pool owner in Queensland needs to get an inspection on 1 December.” » more
