When it comes to pool safety inspections, it’s important to distinguish between single residential pools and shared pools, as they each have specific considerations and requirements.
A single residential pool is typically found in private homes and is exclusively used by the homeowners and/or tenants and their guests. In this case, the responsibility for pool safety and compliance with Queensland’s pool safety laws falls squarely on the homeowner. The inspections focus on factors like pool barriers, gates & latches, CPR signage, surrounding areas, and overall compliance with the QLD government’s safety requirements.
On the other hand, a shared pool is one that’s associated with multi-unit complexes like strata titled apartments, townhouses, villas, duplexes, or hotels & resorts and is available for use by multiple tenants or guests. Responsibility for these pools usually lies with the property management, body corporate, or business owner. Inspections for shared pools include the same safety factors as single residential pools, but they also consider additional factors like signage, rescue equipment, and wider accessibility routes.
The safety requirements for both types of pools are enforced by the Queensland government and aim to prevent drowning and serious immersion injuries, particularly in young children.
