genera pool safelty tips

In NSW, inflatable pools that are capable of being filled with 30cm or more of water are required to be registered to the Swimming Pool Register and must be surrounded by a safety barrier separating the swimming pool from any residential building or place adjoining the premises. Fences surrounding pools must be designed, constructed, installed and maintained to meet Australian Standards AS 1926.1. For a list of requirements download the NSW Government’s Portable Inflatable Pool Checklist at swimmingpoolregister.nsw.gov.au/checklists In many circumstances, you will need Council approval to install an inflatable pool. All pools with a water volume of more than 2000 litres require development approval to be obtained. If you need more information regarding pool fencing compliance, contact Council’s Development Services Section on 1300 864 444.
