PINES awarded Gold Endorsement

We’re very excited to announce that our seasonal facility, PINES, was awarded a Gold endorsement on the Victorian Public Pools Register, recognising its strong safety systems and risk management practices.  

PINES achieved a 100% compliance score, the highest possible rating, reflecting an exceptionally high standard of aquatic safety under Life Saving Victoria’s rigorous assessment framework. 
 
The Gold endorsement places PINES among facilities operating at the highest safety standards in the industry. 
 
PINES Centre Leader, Chiara McAuley commented on this historic achievement, stating that the result is a reflection of the consistency and strong safety culture the PINES team brings every day. 
 
“Achieving Gold endorsement and a 100% compliance score for the first time in PINES history is something to be proud of. For a 50-year old outdoor facility to perform at this high level is a testament to the commitment of the staff, and the high standards we continue to set for our community. 
 
Achieving these scores reflects the hard work and dedication of our entire team, and demonstrates the strength of the Peninsula Leisure safety culture, supervision practices. 
 
A huge congratulations to our incredible Operations and Lifeguard teams who work hard, year-round to provide our community with a safer experience at PINES. We’re absolutely thrilled with this result that is unprecedented for seasonal facilities that was built nearly 50 years ago.
