Are you building a pool?

Posted on 29 August 2024
Are you building a pool?

The sun is shining, the days are getting longer, and the perfect summer awaits! Is there anything better than cooling off with a refreshing dip in your own pool? If you've been dreaming of backyard bliss, now's the perfect time to make it a reality.

However, before you dive headfirst into pool construction, there are important steps you need to take. Obtaining the necessary building approvals ensures your pool is built safely and complies with all local regulations.

At Coastline Certification Group, we understand the excitement of adding a pool to your property. We're here to guide you through the building approval process seamlessly, so you can spend less time navigating paperwork and more time enjoying summer fun!

Building a pool involves various approvals depending on your specific project and council regulations. Here are some general considerations:

  • Pool size and location: all new and altered swimming pools and spas require building approval. Additionally, pool placement needs to adhere to set-back rules from property boundaries.

  • Fencing requirements: All pools must be enclosed with a compliant pool safety barrier to ensure safety, especially for young children.

  • Engineering and structural considerations: Depending on the pool or spa’s design and size, engineering details will be required and, in some cases, (i.e. concrete pools) a specific engineers design will be required. 

Don't let the process of obtaining building approvals dampen your summer spirit!

Our team of experienced certifiers at Coastline Certification Group can handle all the complexities of securing pool building approvals. We can:

  • Provide expert advice on relevant statutory regulations.
