Certifying your Pool or Spa barrier fencing
In Victoria, all swimming pools and spas capable of holding water deeper than 300mm must have compliant safety barriers. This applies to in-ground, above-ground, indoor, and relocatable pools and spas. Safety barriers must meet the Australian Standard AS1926.1-2012 and include self-closing, self-latching gates.
Property owners are responsible for maintaining these barriers to ensure ongoing safety and compliance.
The specific requirements may vary depending on when the pool was installed, with different regulations applying to pools built before June 1, 1994, between June 1, 1994 and April 30, 2010, and after May 1, 2010.
