Register a pool or spa

All pools and spas capable of holding more than 300mm of water must be registered with Council.

Registration is only required once. After registration, owners must arrange barrier inspection and lodge compliance certificates every four years. 

New pools and spas must be registered within 30 days of completion.

Find out what the Building & Plumbing Commission classifies as a swimming pool or spa.

Where separate barriers exist for a pool and spa, each structure must be registered separately. 

You may need:

  • a Building Permit and Certificate of Final Inspection. Find out more about permits 
  • a credit card for payment of the associated fees
  • evidence of the construction date
  • photos of your pool or spa barriers (optional)

If you need assistance contact us email [email protected].

 

Register your pool or spa

After Registration

Council will issue a registration letter than confirms:

  • the recorded construction date
  • the applicable barrier standard
  • your next compliance certificate due date.

If you are unsure if you have registered please email [email protected] providing:

  • your name
  • the property address where the pool/spa is located
  • your contact number.

It is the property owner's responsibility to register the pool and/or spa with Council and for arranging the inspection and certificate of compliance for the pool/spa barrier.

Occupants should ensure gates, latches and other safety barrier components remain functional and report any defects to the owner or managing agent.
