Moved to a new house 18 months ago and just got a letter to say we have to register the pool (Vic).
There are two sliding doors from the house to the pool area, which I understand are no longer allowed (assuming the pool was built after 2010 but I'm waiting for confirmation of build date).
I'm trying to find out if:-
1 - can we screw the doors shut & locked and remove the handles, effectively making them full size windows. They are not used, there are plenty of other doors to the same aspect that don't lead to the pool area.
2 - if no, can we add glass pool fence panels directly in front of the sliding doors only, so they can still open but basically opening onto a fence. The fence panels spanning only the door way between brick walls if you know what I mean? (Like a 1st floor Juliet balcony?).
If I can get confirmation that the pool was installed before 2010 am I correct in thinking that sliding door from the house to the pool area are still allowed as long as they are self closing with appropriate child safe openers?
Still in the process of getting a professional out to inspect, but trying to arm myself with info in the mean time.
Thanks.
