Non-complying pools or pool barriers

What happens if your pool or pool barrier is non-compliant

A re-inspection will be required, for which you will be charged.

You are required to carry out the necessary work before the re-inspection.

We can issue a 'Notice to fix' requiring you to drain the pool and keep it empty until the required work is complete and checked.

Persons responsible for ensuring a pool barrier complies

The following persons must ensure compliance of the pool barrier:

• owner of the pool
• pool operator
• owner of the land on which the pool is located
• occupier of the property in or on which the pool is located
• purchaser of the pool, if the pool is subject to a hire purchase agreement (as defined in the Income Tax Act 2007)
• lessee of the pool or the premises (if the pool is on premises that are not subject to a tenancy under the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 but the pool is subject to a lease or is part of a premises subject to a lease).
