Pool Safety Barrier Requirements

pool safety

We all know the importance of the safety of children in and around swimming pools. However, the general public would be extremely surprised at the amount of non-compliant swimming pools that Wollongong City Council becomes aware of.

Please take the time to read through the Pool Safety Barrier Book in order to be fully compliant with the safety requirements and Australian Standards.

Furthermore, the Department of Fair Trading has valuable information regarding advice and legislative requirements. There is a Self-Assessment Checklist that can be downloaded and utilised to assist in understanding the laws and regulations of your swimming pool.  For further information go to: https://www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/housing-and-property/building-and-renovating/pools-and-pool-safety/swimming-pools-and-spas
