Certification and council rules in Moreton Bay
Moreton Bay covers a wide mix of coastal, suburban and semi-rural land, and rural-residential blocks raise a barrier issue that suburban ones do not. On acreage the pool is often set well away from the house with no continuous boundary fence enclosing the property, so the barrier has to be a complete isolation fence in its own right rather than relying on existing boundaries. Owners moving from a suburban block routinely underestimate what that means for cost and for what will pass inspection.
