Santa's summer splash, portable pool safety reminder
Here’s how you can help keep the kids safe around portable pools.
With summer just around the corner, Santa might be thinking about bringing the kids a portable pool for some refreshing fun.
However, it's essential to remember that any pool with a depth greater than 300mm or a volume exceeding 2000L must adhere to all pool safety regulations.
This includes installing the correct barriers to ensure the safety of our little ones and permanently removing all climbable objects like outdoor furniture or pot plants away from the swimming pool safety barrier and surrounding area.
These Queensland-wide laws are in place to prevent accidents and keep children safe while they enjoy their summer splash.
As you prepare for a fun-filled summer, make safety a priority. Let's keep our kids safe and make this summer memorable for all the right reasons.
Take the time to make sure your pool is ready for action and do your summer pool safety check.
More information about pool safety compliance is available on Council’s website or from the Queensland Building and Construction Commission.
