Almost all cases could be prevented with safety standard pool fences. The challenge is identifying and rectifying deficiencies in pool barriers before a child’s life is lost. The NSW Government has recently concluded a two-year comprehensive review of swimming pools legislation. During this period the New South Wales Deputy State Coroner conducted a series of inquests into swimming pool deaths and made recommendations to strengthen the Swimming Pools Act. This has resulted in the passing of the Swimming Pools (Amendment) Act 2012 (http://www.legislation.nsw.gov.au/ The online Swimming Pool Register has been developed and delivered by PretaGov, an innovative Australian website Software as a Service solution. The online register presented a number of challenges, as the solution had to interface with legacy property title databases and had to ensure compliance with all aspects of the new laws. The extremely tight project time frame was met by the use of new and innovative open source and cloud based technologies that have revolutionised the speed to launch and also greatly reduced the cost of development and operation.
