Coast hotels on notice to fence pools

Anne-Louise Brown

"AFTER dropping prices to counter dwindling tourist numbers, Gold Coast resort and motel operators are now being slugged to make swimming pool fences compliant with new state safety standards.

New laws were introduced across Queensland yesterday and, for the first time, resorts and motels which were previously exempt, have been ordered to comply.

Gold Coast Tourism boss Martin Winter described the changes as "very concerning" and said the matter had been raised with the State Government."
