PoolSafe accreditation for AC Baths

Darren Petry from Taupō District Council

Our team at AC Baths has achieved PoolSafe accreditation for another year.

PoolSafe is an independent assessment of public pools to ensure their operations and facilities are safe, covering everything from water quality to risk assessment practices.

"Our staff prides itself on maintaining a safe and enjoyable workplace for our community to appreciate," Business and operations manager, Scott Attenborough says. "Our lifeguards take pride in our facility and maintain it to a very high level, and our pools and systems passed with flying colours once again".

This positive attitude coupled with strong attention to detail ensured no requests for any further information was required. The high quality of our team's paperwork, presentation and high standards of lifeguard training meant accreditation was awarded to the team immediately following the assessment.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
