What Are The New Pool Or Spa Fencing Safety Regulations In Victoria – The Basic Rules
In Victoria, Australia, pool and spa fencing safety regulations are governed by the Building Regulations 2018 and The Building Act 1993. These regulations outline the requirements for the design, construction, and maintenance of pool and spa fencing to ensure the safety of children and other vulnerable individuals.
​
According to the Building Regulations 2018, all swimming pools and spas with a depth of 300mm or more must be surrounded by a child-resistant barrier. This barrier, including the gate, must be a continuous and not less than 1200mm high and is designed to prevent children from accessing the pool or spa area. The barrier must also have self-closing and self-latching gates. The latch must be located no less than 1500mm above the ground.
​
In addition to these requirements, The Building Act 1993 requires that all pool and spa fencing must be inspected and certified by a qualified building inspector or building surveyor every four years. This ensures that the fencing meets all safety requirements and is in good repair.
​
It is important to note that these regulations apply to all swimming pools and spas, including above-ground, in-ground, indoor, and portable. The owner or operator of the pool or spa is responsible for ensuring that the fencing meets all safety regulations and is maintained in good condition. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in fines and other penalties.
