Role of local government
- Local governments are responsible for granting building permits for swimming pools and spas and their associated barriers.
- The approval process ensures that the building and barrier standards are satisfied.
- Pools are registered with the local government so that periodic inspections of the installed barrier can occur.
- Inspections should occur at least once every four years.
Rules for pools and spas
For information on pool and barrier standards, please refer to the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety's Rules for Pools and Spas booklet.
