Swimming Pool 3

Council may inspect swimming pools in its area in accordance with its program. Under the Swimming Pools Act 1992, when completing regulatory functions Council is able to –

  1. to take such steps as are appropriate to ensure that it is notified of the existence of all swimming pools to which this Act applies that are within its area, and
  2. to promote awareness within its area of the requirements of this Act in relation to swimming pools, and
  3. to investigate complaints about breaches of this Act.

Council will provide ongoing and complimentary community education and awareness through a range of channels which may include community publications, media releases, including social media, website information, including links to owner self- assessment pool fence checklists and public interactions with the Council Swimming Pool Officers.
