It seems I live in some sort of well-regulated society...and people from down south bag Queenslanders for being behind the times... ha! Although, Victoria and WA has a much better regulated electrical industry. Ours is basically every man for themselves when it comes to domestic and small commercial jobs where there is no consulting engineer involved. You realise that pool inspections are very cursory, centred around whether appropriate fencing is up? The licencing is just a rubber stamp to make you a "licensed" inspector. You wouldnt use them if you wanted a pool inspected from an engineering perpective! No one state is ahead of the others completely in terms of regulation. They are all deficit in various ways. 1960sModernistHome To sell a house in Qld you must have a pool safety certificate, a safety switch protecting power circuits, and smoke alarms - the minimum safety essentials. At a minimum I would expect a building inspector to be competent enough to tell whether or not a property has a safety switch and smoke alarms installed. You dont need a smoke alarm, or a CCT breaker in a dwelling for sale. Just a statement as to the effect whether it has one or not. No one polices it either.
