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?

She said it had a lot of money in it. Hopefully, someone has found it and handed it into Countdown or the Police … View moreThis is a long-shot, but you never know...….I was helping a rather distraught young Mum to find her white, oblong purse, in the Countdown/KMart car park, around 12.30/1/30pm.
