With installing a pool comes certain obligations regarding safety and prior approvals. Below, we've listed some information on these two things to give you a better understanding of what is involved when installing a new pool or spa here in Brisbane.

Knowing the Safety and Planning Laws for Brisbane

It doesn't matter where you live in Australia, there are pool safety and planning laws in place. They do differ from state to state though, here are the ones that apply for Brisbane:

All new swimming pools and spas need to be approved for construction before any work can start. This involves obtaining permit approvals from your local council or a building certifier. Here in Brisbane, you will need the following approvals:

1. A sewerage and water supply approval

2. A structural stability permit approval and;

3. A building permit approval

Additionally, your pool builder will give you a domestic contract that you will need to read over and sign. They will sign it also. You'll be given a copy for safekeeping. Only once the permits have been approved, and you have signed your contract will any type of work start on your pool. A warning sign will be displayed at the front of your property while work is underway, and once your pool has been built, it will need to have a safety barrier installed around it. Your new pool will need to be registered on the Queensland Pool Safety Register once completed.

When it comes to the paperwork and logistics of organising your pool build, it is not something you'll have to navigate through, our team will take care of it all for you.

Which fibreglass pool is best suited to me in Brisbane?

Deciding which pool is best suited to you is very much a personal decision. Here are some factors to think of when making your choice. Considering these things will ensure that your pool not only looks great but is capable of fulfilling your swimming needs:

Your pool budget – Everyone has different budgets or an amount that they would be happy to spend on a swimming pool. It is a good idea to work out what your budget is early on to ensure you don't get your heart set on a pool that is out of your price range. You'll need to factor in costs associated with the surrounding areas of the pool also, such as tas fencing, landscaping, flooring choices, etc.

Where your pool can go and how big it can be – If you don't have an overly large backyard, your pool might have to be smaller to fit in the space that you have available.

What you will use the pool for most – Working out what the pool will mostly be used for can help you find the right one. For example, if it is swimming laps, a lap pool may be a suitable choice.

Can I use my pool all year round with Brisbane's weather?

Using your swimming pool year-round in Brisbane is a possibility however, when winter hits, the idea of going swimming may not be on the agenda as often as it is at other times of the year. If you want to be able to swim year-round, investing in a heating system is a good idea. Even if you only use it for a limited time during the year, it can still come in handy and allow you to swim whenever you like comfortably. The best thing about pool heating is there are tonnes of options to choose from, and there is something for every heating need and budget.
