NSW政府最新规定：后院已有游泳池的户主必须在２０１３年１０月２９日之前向COUNCIL登记，否则面临罚款。
我爸妈的房子后院有游泳池，虽然已很多年了，但不知道最初的户主建游泳池时有没有得到COUNCIL正式批准。
如果COUNCIL那边以前没记录，我去登记的话不是给自己找麻烦？！！！
大家怎么看？？

Backyard Swimming Pools
Drowning is a leading cause of accidental death in very young children who lack the cognitive and water skills to deal with the danger.
With over 300,000 backyard swimming pools in NSW, swimming pool safety is a vital issue that affects the whole community.
In 2012, a comprehensive review of the Swimming Pools Act 1992 was finalised. This review identified a number of amendments designed to enhance the safety of children under the age of five years around private (‘backyard’) swimming pools in NSW.
The Swimming Pools (Amendment) Act 2012
1.NSW Swimming Pools Register available for use by 29 April 2013
2.NSW Swimming pools to be registered by owners by 29 October 2013
