Pool Certificate Requirements in Queensland
However, if you’re not moving anywhere and your pool certificate has simply expired, you are not required to renew the certificate. All swimming pool barriers must remain compliant, regardless of a valid or expired pool safety certificate.
How long are pool certificates valid for?
- Pool certificates for non-shared pools last for 2 years from the date of issue.
- Pool certificates for shared pools last for 1 year from the date of issue.
Difference between non-shared vs shared pools

Pool Fence Non-climbable Zones in Qld
About Non-climbable Zones
What are stepping points?
Difference between ‘Clear Area’ & ‘Additional Clear Area’
- Clear Area – The clear area is a depth of 300mm & a length of 900mm. It is directly adjacent to the 900mm ncz, inside the pool area.
- Additional Clear Area – is a 300mm extension of the 900mm NCZ. However, when taking the measurement perpendicular from the top of the pool barrier (1200mm in total) this measurement only extends away from the pool 900mm. (see diagram below)
Pool Safety Inspection Tip #1
1.2 Using a tape measure, extend the tape 300mm into the pool area & check for objects.
1.3 Remove any hose brackets close to the pool’s safety barrier which could be used as a stepping point.
Pool Fence Requirements in Queensland
Minimum Fence Height
Horizontal Rails within non-climbable zones?
Under the Pool Fence – Maximum gaps
Pool Safety Inspection Tip #2
2.2 Where fencing changes levels, look for larger gaps at the start of each panel.
2.3 Check high traffic areas, such as the gate entry point for sunken ground.
Boundary Pool Fence Height
Minimum height for boundary pool fence qld?
Splash proof fencing is not part of the pool standard and is not considered during a pool safety inspection. A splash proof fence is required during a new construction, where if the boundary fence is within 1500mm of the pool waters edge, it must be splash proof & have a minimum height of 1800mm.
Non-climbable Zones inside the Pool Area.
Pool Safety Inspection Tip #3
3.2 Take more control: Boundary fences with Non-climbable zones on the inside vs having them on your neighbours side.
3.3 Look out for gaps ≥10mm between palings, where horizontal rail are on the opposite side which could be used as a foothold.

Pool Safety Inspection Tip #4
