Do inflatable swimming pools need fencing?
The Swimming Pools Act 1992, states that a swimming pool which is capable of being filled to a depth of 300mm or more, MUST be surrounded by a Child Resistant Barrier. Swimming pool safety is an issue that Council does not take lightly and council officers will be doing theri utmost to ensure compliance with the Act and Regulations to prevent a drowning tragedy occuring in the future. Council reminds residents of the Temora Shire that copies of its Swimming Pool Policy and check lists are available from the Council Chambers and that before purchasing any swimming pool to check with Council to ensure compliance with Regulations. If a child is in or around water, it is important that they be SUPERVISED at all times. Contact details Environmental Department 02 6980 1100 (ph) 02 6980 1138 (fax) temshire@temora.nsw.gov.
