Thinking of putting up a temporary pool at your property over the summer? Consider the following information to help you plan your installation.
All pools that can hold water to a depth of 400mm or more and have water in them (even if the pool is only partially filled) must have a pool barrier that restricts access by young children.
If you are thinking of installing a portable or permanent pool this summer, please remember these rules and apply for a building consent.
Spa pools and hot tubs that have a lockable cover do not need a barrier.
See pool safety guidance and our Pool Safety Checklist for more information.
