A residential property in Queensland has a swimming pool. Under pool safety legislation, the property manager must ensure:

Correct Answer

D) A current pool safety certificate is in place and the pool barrier complies

Under the Building Act 1975 and Pool Safety Standard, Queensland properties with pools must have compliant pool fencing and a current pool safety certificate. Landlords must ensure compliance, and a valid certificate is required when entering into a new tenancy.

Answer Options
A
The pool is drained whenever the tenants have children under five living with them
B
Pool safety is left to the tenant, who controls access to the pool during the tenancy
C
The tenant signs a waiver accepting all risk connected with the pool
D
A current pool safety certificate is in place and the pool barrier complies

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Under Queensland's pool safety laws in the Building Act 1975, a regulated pool must have a barrier complying with the pool safety standard, and a pool safety certificate must be in effect before the property is leased. The owner, through the property manager, is responsible for both.
