Spa pools
You are legally required to advise council if you have a spa on your property
- council officers will visit your property to confirm compliance, and add the spa to their register.
As well as being illegal, a non-compliant spa pool can affect your home
insurance and become a problem if you want to sell your property.
Portable spa pools
Portable spa pools with sides 760mm above ground or any permanent projection,
and fitted with a lockable rigid cover, may not require fencing.
Contact us to see if your spa meets the criteria to use
a lockable cover as the barrier.
In ground spa pools or spa pools fitted in decks
All other spa pools that do not meet the criteria above will require
fencing to comply with the Fencing of Swimming Pools Act 1987, regardless of any previous
acceptance.
For more information, contact us.
