  • Additional Comments

  • Is there a significant risk to public safety?

  • Section 23A(1) of the NSW Swimming Pools Act 1992 (as in force at time of writing) allows the Council to carry out some or all of the requirements of a direction it has given if the Council considers that the requirements of the direction need to be carried out urgently as there is a significant risk to public safety.

  • What is the nature of the risk to public safety?

  • Is the safety of a person at risk?

  • If Council considers that the safety of a person is at risk if the requirements of a direction were not carried out as soon as possible, it may serve the direction without notice. See section 23(6) of the Swimming Pools Act 1992.
