POOL OWNERS WIN RED TAPE REPRIEVE
Mr Trevor Ruthenberg has applauded these changes
“This is a win for pool owners and a win for common sense.”
“Previously, a building application had to be submitted for any pool fencing works involving more than five metres of fence or six fence posts.”
“Allowing these jobs to be inspected by a pool safety inspector will save Kallangur pool owners between $350 and $900.”
Mr Holswich said there remained a range of repairs and maintenance that pool owners could do without supervision, for example replacing only two fence posts.
However, a pool safety inspector will need to be engaged prior to work beginning on more extensive jobs.
