The judging will be conducted by a panel of judges appointed by the Promoter. The judging will take place at O’Brien Glass Industries Limited, Head Office, 1/45 Davies Rd, Padstow NSW 2211 and will begin on 15/09/25.
The best valid entry as determined by the judges will win the following prize(s):
Replacement of their existing fence with a new O’Brien Glass® fence up to the total prize value of $15,000.
The prize includes removal of the old fence and replacement with a brand-new glass panel fence in accordance with AS1288 2021.
The prize consists solely of the replacement of the winner’s existing pool fence and gate. The new fence must follow the current layout; extensions, additions or installation in new areas will not be included. The prize is not transferable, exchangeable for cash, or redeemable for credit. Any unused portion of the prize will be forfeited.
The TOTAL PRIZE POOL IS VALUED AT UP TO AUD $15,000 (including GST).
The prize is subject to a preliminary inspection by the Promoter or its contractors to assess the suitability of the existing pool area for installation. If the site is found to require significant remediation (e.g., rusted foundations, unstable ground, or major obstruction), the Promoter reserves the right to modify or withdraw the prize in consultation with the winner. Any additional remedial works required prior to installation will be at the cost and responsibility of the winner.
If the total cost of replacing the fence is less than the total prize pool value of $15,000 (including GST), the remaining value will not be redeemable for cash, credit or other goods or services. No additional work beyond the direct replacement of the existing pool fence and gate will be included in the prize.
The winner will be notified by telephone and in writing within 7 business days of the judging using the contact details provided in their entry.
The installation of the prize will occur within a reasonable period following winner notification and site inspection, subject to scheduling availability and supply of materials. The Promoter will liaise with the winner to coordinate installation.
The winner must take the prize as offered. The prize, or any unused portion of the prize, is not exchangeable and cannot be redeemed as cash. The prize cannot be used in conjunction with any other special offer.
It is a condition of accepting the prize that a winner may be required to sign a legal release as determined by the Promoter in its absolute discretion, prior to receiving a prize.
If, for any reason, the winner does not take the prize (or part of the prize) within the reasonable time stipulated by the Promoter, the prize (or that part of the prize) will be forfeited by the winner and cash will not be awarded in lieu.
If a prize, or part of a prize, is unavailable, the Promoter may substitute an alternative prize to substantially the same recommended retail value and/or specification.
Prizes
The new Pool Fence will be in accordance with AS1288:2021 & AS 1926.1:2024 and or relevant State Development codes. Full compliance with AS 1926.1:2024 and relevant State Development codes encompass joining or adjacent structures and will be the responsibility of the property owner.
The winner will be responsible for engaging the relevant local council or certifier to finalise any compliance certification or inspection required post-installation in accordance with local pool safety regulations.

The prize does not include any ancillary costs associated with redeeming the prize, which are the responsibility of the winner.
In accepting the prize, the winner acknowledges that they may incur ongoing costs associated with the prize that are the responsibility of the winner.
The prize is subject to the standard terms and conditions of the individual prize and service providers.
