Self inspections
You must regularly inspect your swimming pool barrier and gate to make sure it’s safe. Use the self-assessment checklists on the NSW Swimming Pool Register website.
Inspections by Council
Council can inspect your swimming pool or spa at any time, however it’s more likely if:
- We receive a complaint about your pool
- Your pool is considered to be high risk – for example, if it’s at a childcare business or foster care location
- Your pool hasn’t been inspected before
- You’ve applied for a pool certificate.
See our Pool Inspections page for more information about how Council inspects pools.
