If you’re on the Gold Coast, it’s important to familiarise yourself with the Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC) pool safety standards. Glass pool fences must be at least 1200mm high and gaps between the ground and the bottom of the fence should not exceed 100mm. Also, gates must swing outward away from the pool area and be self-closing and self-latching. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in penalties and potentially compromise the safety of your pool area. Always consult with a qualified professional to ensure your fence meets or exceeds local standards.
