Swimming pool: does it need approval

An in ground or above ground pool or spa at a house, and the barrier that has to go around it.

State by state

The position on an ordinary residential lot with no overlay. An overlay on your own lot can change it.

Each row is read from the instrument named against it, on the date shown. Council controls sit on top of all of them.

What the job usually involves

Excavation, shell, filtration, coping and surrounds, fencing and certification. The barrier is not a detail: it is its own law with its own penalties, and it is enforced separately from whether the pool was approved.

What it costs

Read off published projects that carry a price. There is no estimator on this page.

No data yet. Nobody publishes this job as a project with a price on it, so there is nothing honest to read a band off.

The overlays on your lot are what decide whether the row above actually applies to you.
