Swimming Pools: Don't Take The Risk

Did you know that a pool fence is required for all pools that are 300mm or deeper, including those pools that are constructed in or above ground or those which are inflatable or temporary.

It is essential that you have your swimming pool safety fence professionally checked each year as fencing deteriorates with time, and the effectiveness of fencing is significantly reduced. Book a Pool Safety Fence Inspection - complete the application form and forward it to Council.

It is your responsibility as a pool owner to ensure that your pool is safe and that children in and around your pool are safe! More...
