MINISTER FOR URBAN SERVICES

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION ON NOTICE NO. 800

Tuggeranong Swimming Centre - Building Code

Mr Cornwell - asked the Minister for Urban Services - In relation to the

Tuggeranong Indoor Swimming Centre - Clause ACT Gl.l(d) (i) in the

Building Code is part of a specific ACT Appendix to the section of the

code addressing swimming Pools -

(1) Why is adherence to this item entered specifically to apply to swimming pools built in the ACT not considered necessary in this public facility.

(2) How does the pool not comply with this clause.

(3) Does the pool comply with all other items specified in the Clauses relating to swimming pools, both generally and in the ACT Appendix to Clause ACT G1.1.

Mr Connolly - the answer to the Members question is as follows:

(1) The item refers to the slope of the pool floor. In this case changing the slope gradient to 1:15 does not cause a safety problem and has been agreed to by the ACT Building controller. Special textured non-slip tiles were used in shallow water areas as an additional pre-caution.

(2) The slope gradient to a minor part of the main pool sad the floor to the family pool adjacent to the beach entry does not comply.

(3) Yes, generally and the ACT Appendix to Clause ACT G1.1.
