Time to Register swimming pools has now been extended in Queensland

Due to recent natural disasters experienced across Queensland, the Queensland Government has elected to extend the May deadline for registration of swimming pool in the safety register. This means that pool owners will have until 4 November 2011 to register their pool in the register. Penalties of up to $2000 will apply after this time.

To check whether your pool is registered you can now begin a search for a property and view details of the most recent pool safety certificate if one has been issued for that property. Simply conduct a property search on the pool register tool. Enter your property details. The register will validate the address entered and will advise if the pool is registered and if there is a valid pool safety certificate attached to the property.

If the register states no pools are recorded against this property, click on ‘alert the Pool Safety Council’ and enter the number of pools and spas located on the property.
