Swimming pools
Registering your pool
As of 29 October 2013, all pool owners in New South Wales are required to register their swimming pools on a state-wide register. There are two ways you can register your swimming pool:
- online at www.swimmingpoolregister.nsw.gov.au (no fee)
- completing and lodging the registration form and the relevant pool barrier self-assessment checklist at Waverley Council’s Customer Service Centre, 55 Spring Street Bondi Junction (fee of $10).
If you did not register your pool before the 29 October 2013 deadline, you may receive a penalty fine of $220.
The register is one outcome of the NSW Government’s review of the Swimming Pools Act 1992, which saw a series of amendments to the Act aimed at improving the safety of children under the age of five years around swimming pools. For more information, please view the frequently asked questions.
Pool barrier self-assessment checklists
You can download the relevant self-assessment checklist below:
- Indoor pools
- Spas
- Waterfront properties
- Portable or inflatable pools
- Property under 230 square metres
- Property over 2 hectares
- Pools built or installed before 1 September 2008
- Pools built or installed between 1 September 2008 and 30 April 2013
- Pools built or installed after 1 May 2013
Pool safety fact sheets
The Royal Life Saving Society has developed a series of pool safety fact sheets in conjunction with the NSW Government. These can be downloaded by following the links below.
- Fact sheet 1: NSW Swimming Pool Register
- Fact sheet 2: Supervision
- Fact sheet 3: Restrict access
- Fact sheet 4: Water awareness
- Fact sheet 5: Resuscitate
- Be pool safe
Request an inspection
As per the Swimming Pools Act 1992, the owner of any premises can request an inspection for a swimming pool on their premises. This means that Council will send an officer out to inspect the pool barrier prior to the lease or sale of the property and if the barrier complies with the requirements of the legislation, issue a Certificate of Compliance.
Exemptions
As per Section 22 of the Swimming Pools Act 1992, the owner of any premises with a swimming pool may apply to Council for a Certificate of Exemption where pool barriers are deemed impractical or unreasonable.
