Swimming Pools
All residential pools must comply with the requirements of the Swimming Pools Act 1992, the Swimming Pools Regulation 2008 and the relevant Australian Standards including AS 1926.1 2007.
All properties must be fenced and display the Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Guideline stipulated by the legislation. Guidelines (display posters) are available for purchase from Council.
Swimming pools within Ashfield are inspected on an ongoing basis to ensure compliance. Please note that penalties apply for non compliance.
Young children need supervision at all times and especially so near swimming pools regardless if they are fenced or not.
Details of the Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Guideline can be obtained at Council or by visiting the Department of Local Government site at http://www.dlg.nsw.gov.au/dlg/dlghome/dlg_index.asp or http://www.resus.org.au.
