The Queensland government has introduced new pool safety laws aimed at further reducing the number of incidences of drowning and serious immersion injuries to young children in swimming pools. These laws affect new and existing pools. Pool owners have until 30 November 2015 to comply with the new pool safety laws, or earlier if they sell or lease their property before this time. For more information on new and existing pools, leasing a property with a pool or selling a property with a pool go to www.dip.qld.gov.au/poolsafety (opens in new window).
