The 1991 Pool Fencing Legislation requires that all owners of swimming pools for houses, flats and home units install and maintain a pool fence.

Pool Fence Safety

  • You need a fence that surrounds the swimming pool, separating the pool from your house and the neighbourhood.
  • The outside of the pool fence has to be at least 1.2m high.
  • Make sure there is no gap under the fence more than 10cm.
  • All vertical (or near vertical) palings should be less than 10cm apart.
  • All horizontal (or near horizontal) railings should be more than 90cm apart (to prevent children climbing the fence using the railings).
  • Ensure that your fence is well maintained, and works effectively as a safety barrier. Holes or broken railings and palings may make your fence less effective, and therefore unsafe.
  • Make sure there is nothing that a child could use to climb over the fence nearby. Ensure that you fence is 1.2m clear of any large objects (such as trees, hedges, boulders, walls).
  • If your home forms part of the child-resistant barrier around your pool, ensure that there are no doors or windows that permit unauthorized access to the pool.
  • The fence gate should open outwards (away from the pool), and automatically close and latch by itself from any open position.
  • The gate latch release should be 1.5m above ground if located on the outside of the fence, and 1.2m above ground and covered by a shield if located on the inside of the fence.

****Please note: This is a guide only; to ensure that your swimming pool fencing fully complies with the legislation in Australia, you should contact your local council.
