When putting up a swimming pool fence it\u2019s important that you erect it in compliance with your local government laws. Not meeting pool fencing requirements could lead to costly delays, fines, and even potential legal issues, but don\u2019t worry, this guide is here to help you avoid all of that.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before we get into all the regulation details, here\u2019s a quick overview. Victoria is the most recent state to undertake safety reforms which came into effect on the 1st of December 2019. The regulations require all swimming pools and spas with a depth greater than 30cm to be surrounded by compliant pool fencing. Your pool fence must meet a specific height, and design, and provide adequate protection to prevent unauthorised access and potential drowning. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll also need to register your pool with your local council, who will send someone to your home to ensure that your pool fence is compliant. With this guide, it\u2019ll all seem simple.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now let\u2019s look at the standards and regulations in detail.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pool fencing compliance standards<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll note that the official regulations often refer to your pool fence as a \u2018safety barrier\u2019. The Australian Standard AS1926.1-2012: Safety Barriers for Swimming Pools is the current national standard that governs pool fences in Victoria. The Australian Standard AS1926.1-2012 applies to all pools, including inflatable pools and spas. Below, you\u2019ll find all the details you\u2019ll need to know to ensure your pool fence is compliant.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pool Fencing Requirements\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are the key requirements for safety barriers (pool fences) as set out in the Australian Standard:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your pool fence must be at least 1.2m high (as measured from the finished ground level).<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your pool fence mustn\u2019t leave a gap at the bottom bigger than 10cm from the finished ground level.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a boundary fence is part of the pool fence, the barrier must be 1.8m high.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pool owners must maintain a &#8216;non-climbable&#8217; zone around the pool.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Making sure your pool fence gate is compliant\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you\u2019ve got the pool fence guidelines sorted, you\u2019ll need to make sure that your pool fence gate is compliant as well. Australian Standard AS 1926.1 outlines that gates need to be:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hung so that they only swing outwards. i.e. away from the pool area.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">they must also be able to swing freely through its arc of operation, be fitted with a self-closing device and be fitted with a latching device.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A pool gate that is not self-closing or does not have a latching device should be permanently secured until such time as the device\/s can be installed.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pool fence inspections<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once your swimming pool has been registered with your local council, you\u2019ll need to arrange an inspector for an inspection. This can be carried out by either:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A registered building surveyor,<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A registered building inspector,<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A municipal building surveyor.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certificate of Barrier Compliance<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the inspector determines that your pool fence complies with the standards, they\u2019ll issue a Certificate of Barrier Compliance. As the owner of the land that the pool is on, you then need to lodge the certificate with your council within 30 days of the date of issue of the certificate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the council receives the certificate, they\u2019ll send you a written notice, which confirms the date the certificate was lodged and includes the date by which the next certificate is required to be lodged, which is always four years after the previous certificate.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What happens if my pool fence isn\u2019t compliant?\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the inspector determines that your pool fence isn\u2019t compliant, they\u2019ll issue you a certificate of barrier non-compliance as well as a written notice specifying which matters must be addressed to bring the pool barrier into compliance, the amount of time you have to bring it up to compliance (a maximum of 60 days), and when the inspector intends to reinspect your pool fence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If, once they perform the reinspection, the inspector determines that your pool fence is compliant, they\u2019ll issue a certificate of barrier compliance, which you then need to lodge with the council.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s worth noting that if your pool fence is still non-compliant, but the inspector is satisfied that progress has been made towards bringing the fence into compliance, they may allow you an additional seven days to bring it to full compliance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pool fencing non-compliance penalties<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swimming pool fences that don\u2019t meet safety requirements face fines for non-compliance. If the inspector issues a certificate of barrier non-compliance, they\u2019ll lodge it with the relevant council and provide you with a copy. The council will notify you and you\u2019ll have to pay a fee by the due date specified in the notice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are the penalties for non-compliance for Victoria:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maximum penalty for lodging a certificate of barrier non-compliance with council &#8211; $397.54<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Failure to lodge certificate of barrier compliance by the date specified &#8211; up to $1,849.20<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Failure to lodge certificate of barrier non-compliance by date specified &#8211; up to $1,849.20<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Failure to comply with barrier improvement notice by date specified &#8211; up to $1,849.20<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creating a safe zone around your pool fence<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Part of the pool fence safety requirements extend past the fence itself. To keep children and pets from climbing into the pool area, you need to create a \u2018safe zone\u2019 around the entire length of your pool fence. The guidelines are simple:<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h5><b>On the outside of your fence,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> all climbable objects must be at least 900mm away from the fence.<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">\n<h5><b>On the inside of your fence,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> all non-climbable objects must not be within 300mm of the pool fence.<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When should I put my fence up?\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given the strict guidelines, most people aren\u2019t sure if they should erect their swimming pool fence before or after the swimming pool is put in. The short answer is afterwards &#8211; but, there are requirements here as well, because you\u2019ll need a temporary fence up while the pool is being installed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your pool contractor should include temporary fencing in your pool quote before you sign a contract. You must ensure your temporary fencing complies with the same standards as your finalised established fencing, as outlined in this article.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintaining your pool fence<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important that you make sure your pool fence is fully functional on an ongoing basis. Pool fence maintenance includes regularly checking that the:\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gate operates as it did when it was installed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The latching device operates as it did when it was installed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your fence doesn\u2019t have any additional gaps, rust and wear and tear that would render it ineffective.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All pool fence bolts are tight and in good order.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because your pool fence exists to keep your family safe, maintenance is really important. Remember, your certificate of barrier compliance gets reinstated every four years, so making sure you maintain your pool fence is a legal as well as a safety matter. It\u2019s recommended that to keep your pool fence safe and compliant and that you use a licensed pool technician, builder or fencing contractor for checks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Complete overview of pool fencing safety standards\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is a recap of everything you need to know to ensure that your pool fence complies with pool safety law standards:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By law, your pool or spa needs to be registered with your local council.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your pool has a depth of 30cm or more (300mm), it\u2019s required to be surrounded by a pool fence.
