Body Corporate Swimming Pool Fence Safety Inspection Certificates

Like it or not, new Pool Safety Laws apply

From 1st December 2010 new Queensland Pool Safety Laws apply to Body Corporates and Community Titles Schemes that have swimming pools.

The Queensland Government has made it necessary for you to arrange a pool safety inspection if:

• One of the lot owners chooses to sell a unit
• One of the lot owners enters into a rental agreement with a new or existing tenant

The lot owner may not be able to settle the sale of a unit without a Certificate of Compliance, or may not be able to rent a unit to tenants, without risking fines or penalties.

There are "Phase-in" periods, but you will be burdened by the need to complete disclosure documentation, in the Government-Prescribed form, if you choose to sell or lease without a Pool Safety Certificate. You will also be carrying liability risks if a child drowns in a non-complying pool.

Don't wait until one of your lot owners wants to sell or lease. Do it now and save the stress. A Compliance Certificate will remain valid for 12 months for a shared pool.

For around $220 you can’t afford not to get an inspection done

There is enormous demand for Pool Fence Inspections, so don’t let your lot owners face delays waiting for a pool inspection before they can sell or lease their unit - pre-book your Body Corporate Building with mypoolinspection now.
