Swimming Pools and Spas - Selling or Buying Property with a Pool
Swimming pools regulation 2008
On 1 September 2008 the Swimming Pools Regulation 2008 came into effect, replacing the Swimming Pools Regulation 1998.
This new regulation states that "AS1926.1-2007 Swimming Pool Safety Part 1: Safety Barriers for Swimming Pools" is now the standard for all child-resistant barriers surrounding/ restricting access to a pool.
NOTE: You should rely on the Regulation to inform you rather than solely rely on "AS1926.1-2007" as the Regulation excludes/restricts some clauses of "AS1926.1-2007" for pools in NSW. Additional information can be obtained from your Accredited Certifier (for pool construction) or Council's Environment & Development Control section.
See the NSW Legislation website for more information.
Pool certificate of compliance
If purchasing a property with a pool, or you just want peace of mind, apply for a Pool Certificate of Compliance from Council - for a small fee of $50 Council will inspect your pool for compliance.
To arrange a Pool Certificate of Compliance inspection, call the Customer Service Centre on 98065000 for an application form or download the application form.
For a fee of $50, regulatory services will inspect the pool and provide you with a report.
