Belgravia Leisure eyes Platinum Pools after achieving gold safety endorsement from Royal Life Saving Queensland

Two leading aquatic facilities in the City of Moreton Bay, Burpengary Regional Aquatic Leisure Centre and Murrumba Downs Swimming Pool have been awarded the prestigious Gold Safety Endorsement from Royal Life Saving Queensland, marking a significant milestone as they set their sights on Platinum Pool accreditation.

Both venues successfully met the rigorous 100% compliance benchmark on the Royal Life Saving Aquatic Facility Safety Assessment, showcasing their commitment to industry-leading safety standards and operational excellence.

Mayor Peter Flannery, City of Moreton Bay, praised the recognition, stating, “The safety of our residents is paramount and this endorsement reinforces Moreton Bay’s commitment to providing world-class aquatic facilities. We are proud to see our community pools leading the way in safety and operational excellence, ensuring local families have access to the best possible aquatic experiences. Congratulations to Council officers, Belgravia Leisure and Royal Life Saving Queensland on this collaborative achievement.”

Nikki Thornhill, State Manager at Royal Life Saving Queensland, commended the facilities on their achievement, stating, “We are pleased to be able to award a Gold Safety Endorsement to Murrumba Downs Swimming Pool and Burpengary Regional Aquatic Leisure Centre. This award recognises their commitment to excellence in safety management systems.”

“Similar to accrediting a lifesaver, the facility has had to achieve excellence across multiple assessments, all of which are geared at lifting safety standards, implementing the Guidelines for Safe Pool Operations, and embedding safe practices into the workplace culture. Congratulations to Belgravia Leisure for their efforts.”

Dan Cullen, State Manager at Belgravia Leisure, highlighted the organisation’s ongoing focus on health and safety, stating, “At Belgravia Leisure, we are committed to fostering both the physical and psychological well-being of the communities we serve. Health and safety are non-negotiable priorities for us, and achieving this recognition from Royal Life Saving Queensland reflects our dedication to implementing world-class safety management systems. We are proud of this achievement and will continue to uphold the highest standards in aquatic safety.”

The Gold Safety Endorsement is a significant step toward Platinum Pool Accreditation, a designation reserved for aquatic facilities that demonstrate the highest levels of continuous excellence in safety and risk management.

The recognition of Murrumba Downs Swimming Pool and Burpengary Regional Aquatic Leisure Centre reinforces Moreton Bay’s reputation for providing safe and accessible aquatic environments, ensuring the highest safety standards for local families, swimmers and the wider community.
