Imaging doing some gardening in your backyard only to discover that the previous owner of the property had filled in a concrete pool. That is what a Marcoola man uncovered when he was doing some landscaping in his backyard. In this case, the swimming pool that was filled in around 2011 was likely due to the owner deciding it was easier to backfill the pool than comply with new pool certification rules that had recently come into place.
If you have been contemplating having your pool removed or filled in, contact your local council for advice on what is required to have the pool removed from the register.
Logan City Council has an excellent fact sheet that identifies what is required when you intend to decommission a pool within that local government area.
You can book your swimming pool safety inspection at the Brisbane Pool Safety book online form.
