2025 Swimming Pool Inspection Program

As part of the Swimming Pool Act 1992, Council is required to develop and adopt a program for the inspection of swimming pools in the local government area. This document replaces the 2019 version.

Proposed changes

The major change to the Program is the removal of the Non-Mandatory Random Advisory Inspections. This is an area of work that Council have been unable to adequately resource and this part of the inspection program has not been completed since 2020.

Background

To ensure that members of the public continue to have access to specific advice regarding their own pool compliance, Council will continue to offer “Free on-demand advisory inspections”. We have also developed a seasonal communications package which will be used to remind pool owners of their obligations regarding swimming pool safety. Additionally, GIS mapping software will be used to regularly identify new pools in the area.
