NSW Swimming Pool Laws Postponed

The NSW Office of Local Government has postponed laws that will require all swimming pool and spa owners to have a certificate of compliance, which are now due to come into effect on 29^th April 2015.

Council officers have reported that it can take up to three months to issue a compliance certificate from the initial inspection, leaving real estate representatives concerned that not all of their properties would have been compliant before the cut-off.

The delay in commencement of this legislation will allow for a smooth transition period, and means at this stage no further action is required from you as a property manager. Be sure to inform your home owners of this change, and over the course of the year start including pool compliance registration into your procedures to ensure you are prepared once this legislation has been implemented.
