Hi neighbours,

Many people setting up paddling pools for their children this summer will be breaking the law - are you one of them?

Any pool, fixed or portable, deeper than 400mm is now subject to safety provisions under the Building Act, meaning there a quite a few rules you probably aren't even aware of.

For example, do you have a 1.2-metre fixed childproof fence with a self-closing gate opening outwards?

What are your thoughts on paddling pool safety? If faced with an inspection, would your pool set-up pass? Do you think all these rules are essential? What are your tips for setting up a paddling pool safely?

Medium haired Tabby with fluffy tail.
This entire male of approx 1 years has been hanging out around my place at 70 Cutts Rd, Russley for the past 2 weeks. It attacks my male cat every time, pees everywhere which in turn causes my cats to pee as well. This cat is not microchipped nor fixed. I attached a paper collar to it a couple of nights ago, which was answered by a neighbour 4-5 houses away. They have been feeding it for the past 2 weeks, but advised that they do not own it, nor know where it comes from.

All appropriate pages on Facebook have had a listing.

Please let me know if anyone owns this cat.

Thank you.
