Today in Victoria you may use a boundary fence as an isolating pool fence. This fence must be gated (from your yard protecting YOU and YOUR family) so YOU are safe providing YOUR fencing is in good condition and the latches on YOUR gate are in working order. yes?
Now let's think about your neighbour's.
That old boundary fence seperating your property from the neighbours property is that in good working order?
What if your neighbours child gets through that boundary fence straight into the poolside of your yard, behind the safety provided to your family by your pool fence.
Are we really relying on pine fencing, sometimes decades old to be the safety barrier for our pools?
If you have a boundary fence as the only protection for your neighbours
PLEASE I URGE YOU TO ERRECT 4 SIDED ISOLATING POOL FENCING.
People never think something like this will happen to them....... then it does.
Have a think about it properly please sign the petition.
