DRAFT | SWIMMING POOL INSPECTION POLICY

DRAFT(PDF, 236KB) | SWIMMING POOL INSPECTION POLICY

Council at the Ordinary Council Meeting of 16 July 2026, resolved to place the Draft Swimming Pool Inspection Policy on Public Exhibition.

The Swimming Pools Amendment Act 2012 introduced a number of significant changes to the Swimming Pools Act 1992 (the Act) concerning the regulation of swimming pool safety in NSW.

The changes involved an increased role for Councils in ensuring that swimming pools in their area are compliant with the requirements of the Act, principally through a program of inspections and the issue of certificates of compliance. A new ‘Register of Swimming Pools’ was also introduced to be administered by the Director-General.

Under the changes, provisions requiring mandatory pool inspections by a Council were inserted into the Act (s22B). Councils are required to develop and adopt a program for the inspection of swimming pools in their area to ensure they are compliant with the Act.

Clause 22B of the Act  requires Council to develop and adopt a program for the inspection of swimming pools in its Local Government Area. This policy is aimed at increasing pool safety awareness and reducing the risks associated with infant drowning and near drowning in swimming pools located within the Weddin Shire.

The policy is aimed specifically at ensuring swimming pools comply with the requirements of Part 2 – Access to Swimming Pools, of the Act.

Weddin Shire Council adopted a Policy for Swimming Pool Barrier Inspections on
17 October 2013 (Policy 10.6.1). The policy was reviewed and amended by Council on 15 June 2017, before being further amended on 20 September 2022 to be consistent with the requirements of the Act. This policy supersedes the previously adopted policy.

The objectives of this policy are to:

  1. save and protect lives by preventing drowning in swimming pools;
  2. informing pool owners of their responsibilities and obligations under the Act and  Swimming Pools Regulation 2018 (Regulations);  
  3. take appropriate steps to ensure that Council is notified of all swimming pools in the Weddin Shire; and
  4. ensure Council is fulfilling its obligations under the Act.

Council welcomes submissions to mail@weddin.nsw.gov.au by 5:00pm Monday 24 August 2026.
