Pool inspection self-assessment checklists
Pool inspection self-assessment checklists
To find the right self-assessment checklist you will need to know a few things about your pool:
When was it built or installed?
If the pool fence or means of access to the pool was substantially rebuilt or altered, when did that last occur?
What type of pool do you have - indoor? spa pool? outdoor? portable?
Was the pool built before 1 July 2010. If so, the rules are different if you have:
a waterfront property,
a small-sized property (less than 230 square metres)
or a large property (over 2 hectares).
