Are Pool Certificates Essential?
Upon expiration, Pool Safety Certificates do not have to be renewed – however, if you are making significant changes to your pool fence, or selling or leasing properties, then your Pool Safety Certificate needs to be valid for the sale or reinspected due to the major changes. It is also important that your pool fence follows the guidelines of Queensland Pool Safety Regulations, regardless of the status of your pool safety certificate.
How long does a Pool Certificate last?
- Non-Shared Pool certificates – valid for 2 years.
- Shared Pool certificates – valid for 1 year.
Whats the difference?
Shared pools: accessible by more than one dwelling, such as a townhouse complex.

Queensland – Pool Safety Requirements
Pool Safety Legislation & Regulations in Queensland
What you need to know about Non Climbable Zones
Where are non-climbable zones located on a Pool Barrier?
Stepping Points & Climbable Objects
Are ‘Clear Area’ & ‘Additional Clear Area’ different zones?
- Clear Area – The clear area is a depth of 300mm inside the pool area, directly adjacent to the 900mm ncz, which needs to be free from climbable objects.
- Additional Clear Area – The ‘Additional Clear Area’ is a zone which can effectively be applied above or below the non climbable zone (or both) providing the ‘non climbable zone’ & the ‘additional clear area’ equates to 1200mm. This is to maintain the effective height of the safety barrier.
Pool Safety Inspection Tip #1
1.2 Rocks & sloping ground, close to the pool fence can affect the overall height of the pool barrier.
1.3 Look out for sockets, hose brackets, taps around the non-climbable zone.
