Pool fencing and barrier compliance in NSW
In New South Wales, all swimming pools and spas on residential properties require certified Class 10b safety barriers under the Swimming Pools Act 1992 and AS1926.1 Australian Standards.
All outdoor pools require a continuous barrier of at least 1200mm in height, strict non-climbable zones (NCZ), and maximum 100mm ground clearance gaps.
Gates must swing outwards away from the pool area, self-close and latch securely from any open position, with latch releases set at 1500mm or higher.
Maintain clear boundaries with no climbable objects, retaining walls, trees, or boundary steps within 900mm of the outside barrier surface.
NSW properties with a swimming pool or spa must be registered, inspected, and hold a valid Certificate of Compliance prior to sale or lease.
