Stage 2 was enforced on December 1, 2010 and is focused on existing pools in Queensland.

In the “Queensland Development Code” it states that every single existing pool as well as new pools will require an upgrade in order to be in compliance with the pool regulation standards.



A five year plan to phase out any doors that are regarded as child resistant that have been used for pool barrier purposes.



Wide spread application for pool regulations that will now include swimming pools in hostels, backpackers, caravan parks and mobile homes, camping grounds, resorts, motels and hotels as well as any indoor pools.



A system that will enforce a requirement for a certificate in pool safety which will be issued from a licensed inspector for pool safety for all leased or sold properties. The certificate will be valid for a period of twelve months for swimming pools that are shared and twenty four months for private.
