Do I need development consent for a Pool?
Every pool that is capable of holding 2,000 litres of water and is more than 300mm deep requires an approval to be constructed, installed or altered.
You can apply for Development Consent from either Council or a registered private certifier.
To determine if a Development Consent is required, given individual property circumstances and structures vary, speak with Council's Duty Planner or Building Surveyor on 02 4934 9700.
