Hi neighbours,

Many people setting up paddling pools for their children this summer will be breaking the law - are you one of them?

Any pool, fixed or portable, deeper than 400mm is now subject to safety provisions under the Building Act, meaning there a quite a few rules you probably aren't even aware of.

For example, do you have a 1.2-metre fixed childproof fence with a self-closing gate opening outwards?

What are your thoughts on paddling pool safety? If faced with an inspection, would your pool set-up pass? Do you think all these rules are essential? What are your tips for setting up a paddling pool safely?

The Te Puke swimming pool remains closed until further notice.

Aquatic systems specialists are inspecting the facility this week to give Council a better understanding of the options and costs involved.

Given its age, an exact replacement pump is no longer available - so there is no quick fix. Installation of a new and differently configured pump will require modification and replacement of some of the adjoining ageing plant components and pipework. We will update the situation when we have more information.
