Background
At its meeting on 25 March 2025, Council resolved to put the Draft Swimming Pool Inspection Program on public exhibition for 28 days.
What is the Swimming Pool Inspection Program?
The Swimming Pools Act 2012 requires Council to develop and adopt a locally appropriate, affordable risk-based swimming pool inspection program in consultation with the local community.
The Swimming Pool Inspection Program aims to actively contribute to a reduction in drownings or near drownings in New South Wales private backyard swimming pools, including spa pools. It aims to ensure the greatest possible safety for young children in and around swimming pools.
To provide children with the greatest level of safety, it is paramount that children be actively supervised when using swimming pools and that the swimming pool barrier/fence always be compliant.
The inspection program is designed to provide measures to identify non-compliant swimming pools, ensure upgrade works are carried out, and raise swimming pool safety awareness in the process.
