At the height of summer, there's nothing better than taking a dip in the backyard pool. But if you're a resident of Bentleigh real estate lucky enough to own a pool, keep in mind the need for safety when using it.
Glen Eira City council's manager of building and civic compliance John Bordignon recently reminded people of the potential risks involved with backyard pools, while highlighting the importance of not overlooking pool and spa safety rails to keep people safe – especially younger children.
