Building Act 1975

This section applies to a person who purchases regulated premises if, at settlement under the contract of sale for the premises, a pool safety certificate is not in effect for a relevant regulated pool for the premises that is not a shared pool.

The person must ensure there is a pool safety certificate in effect for the pool within—

generally—90 days after the day of settlement (the usual period); or

if, during the usual period, the person becomes a party to a proceeding before QCAT relating to the barrier for the pool—the usual period plus a further period equal to the number of days the person was a party to the proceeding.

This section applies despite a contravention of section 246ATF(b) or (c) in relation to the sale of the regulated premises.
