Swimming Pools
If you intend to build a swimming pool or spa capable of containing water exceeding 300mm deep, a building permit is required. This also applies to above ground pools and indoor pools. A pool safety fence or barrier is required before the swimming pool is filled with water.
A building permit is required to construct a safety fence or barrier to a pre-existing swimming pool or spa, if you wish to obtain a statement from the municipal building surveyor that the safety measures put in place comply with the requirements of the regulations, a fee will apply.
The municipal building surveyor or his representative may visit your property at any time to ensure that the safety measures for your swimming pool or spa are in place and adequately maintained.
Costs
See: Permits - When are they needed?
We recommended that you request a copy of an "Information kit for pool owners", which can be found at the Building Commission Website.
