Buying a residential or investment property in Bundaberg, you may be asked to sign a "Form 36", which is a document that places the responsibility of the pool safety barrier on to the purchaser. Do not sign a “From 36” without first talking to a conveyancer or a solicitor; otherwise it could cost you thousands when you have to upgrade or replace the pool fencing. If you do sign a Form 36, you need to get a Pool Safety Certificate within 90 days of settlement, which will include incurring fence upgrade costs if they are necessary.
