Regulatory Committee Thursday 12 February 2015 1 ITEM FOR DECISION ITEM A1 EXEMPTIONS FROM FENCING OF SWIMMING POOLS PREPARED BY: Lois McNeil (Swimming Pools Compliance Officer) TEAM: Building APPROVED BY: Peter Scantlebury (Manager Building) WARD/COMMUNITY: District Wide DATE: 16 December 2014 FILE REFERENCE: Document Set ID 6101635 PURPOSE The purpose of this report is to seek approval to grant special exemptions for a number of applications from the requirement for spa pools to be fenced pursuant to section 6 of the Fencing of Swimming Pools Act. RECOMMENDATION That, having considered all matters raised in the report, the Council: a) Grants, subject to the conditions set out below, special exemptions pursuant to section 6(1) of the Fencing of Swimming Pools Act 1987 for the following spa pools: 1. Spa pool at 171 Coronation Avenue, New Plymouth 2. Spa pool at 167B Brooklands Road, New Plymouth 3. Spa pool at 58 Brooklands Road, New Plymouth 4. Spa pool at 7B Welbourn Terrace, New Plymouth 5. Spa pool at 184 Tukapa Street, New Plymouth 6. Spa pool at 21 Mill Road, New Plymouth 7. Spa pool at 19A Dixon Street, Oakura 8. Spa pool at 62 Gilbert Street/2 Ridge Lane, New Plymouth 9. Spa pool at 112B Princess Street, Waitara 10. Spa pool at 170 Lemon Street, New Plymouth 11. Spa pool at 617 Kaipikari Road Upper, Urenui 12. Spa pool at 11 Lismore Street, New Plymouth 13. Spa pool at 1 French Street, New Plymouth 14. Spa pool at 238 Mangorei Road, New Plymouth 15. Spa pool at 35 Mill Road, New Plymouth 16. Spa pool at 18 Doralto Road, New Plymouth 17. Spa pool at 35 Manu Crescent, New Plymouth 18. Spa pool at 331 Smart Road, New Plymouth 19. Spa pool at 338 Smart Road, New Plymouth Regulatory Committee Thursday 12 February 2015 2 ITEM A1 ITEM FOR DECISION For each of the spa pool special exemptions above the Council imposes the following conditions which apply when the pool is full or partially full of water and not in use: 1. The top of the spa or hot tub stands at least 760 mm above the surrounding ground or deck. 2. The cover will be locked and clear of any climbable object (including the steps). 3. The locks shall not be able to be readily opened or released by a child of up to the age of six years. 4. When locked, the cover shall be fitted so that if lifted it does not release the locking device or provide an opening greater than 100 mm. 5. The cover shall be made of a material that if walked on cannot collapse and can withstand the weight of at least 20 kg to ensure that it will carry more than the weight of a child up to six years of age. 6. The cover shall be tapered from the centre hinge to the out edge of the cover so that water will not pond on top of it. 7. The cover, clips and locks shall be maintained at all times in a good state of repair. 8. A warning sticker shall be placed on the cover to advise that it shall be locked in place with the spa pool or hot tub is not being used or supervised. 9. Removable steps, moveable furniture, or other objects that can assist a young child to climb on the cover, shall be stored away at least 1200mm from the side of the pool. SIGNIFICANCE This matter has been assessed as having some importance because the options considered will have no impact on levels of service or the Council’s ability to perform its role and carry out its activities. DISCUSSION The Fencing of Swimming Pools Act 1987 (the Act) requires all pool owners to ensure that their pool is fenced by a fence that complies with the requirements of the New Zealand Building Code. A spa pool and hot tub is included in the definition of a swimming pool. Section 6(1) of the Act enables the Council to grant an exemption from some or all of the requirements of the Act in the case of fencing any particular pool so long as the exemption would not significantly increase danger to young children. Regulatory Committee Thursday 12 February 2015 3 ITEM FOR DECISION ITEM A1 The Council has delegated its powers and functions of section 6 of the Act to the Regulatory Committee. The legislation does not provide for the delegation of this power to officers. Each individual application has been assessed against the requirements and safety considerations of the Act and officers consider that the safety conditions set out in the recommendation of this report are reasonable in the circumstances. The conditions are sufficient as safety measures to ensure that the omission of a fence does not significantly increase the danger to young children and therefore complies with the requirements of section 6(1) of the Act.

  • New Zealand National Climate Summary 2011: a Year of Extremes
    NIWA MEDIA RELEASE: 12 JANUARY 2012 New Zealand national climate summary 2011: A year of extremes The year 2011 will be remembered as one of extremes. Sub-tropical lows during January produced record-breaking rainfalls. The country melted under exceptional heat for the first half of February. Winter arrived extremely late – May was the warmest on record, and June was the 3 rd -warmest experienced. In contrast, two significant snowfall events in late July and mid-August affected large areas of the country. A polar blast during 24-26 July delivered a bitterly cold air mass over the country. Snowfall was heavy and to low levels over Canterbury, the Kaikoura Ranges, the Richmond, Tararua and Rimutaka Ranges, the Central Plateau, and around Mt Egmont. Brief dustings of snow were also reported in the ranges of Motueka and Northland. In mid-August, a second polar outbreak brought heavy snow to unusually low levels across eastern and alpine areas of the South Island, as well as to suburban Wellington. Snow also fell across the lower North Island, with flurries in unusual locations further north, such as Auckland and Northland. Numerous August (as well as all-time) low temperature records were broken between 14 – 17 August. And torrential rain caused a State of Emergency to be declared in Nelson on 14 December, following record- breaking rainfall, widespread flooding and land slips. Annual mean sea level pressures were much higher than usual well to the east of the North Island in 2011, producing more northeasterly winds than usual over northern and central New Zealand.
