Why it matters

Why Sutherland Shire pools need a compliance check.

The Sutherland Shire has one of the highest pool densities in Sydney — roughly one in three homes has a backyard pool. Warm summers, large blocks near Port Hacking and the Royal National Park, and a strong outdoor lifestyle mean pools are everywhere from Cronulla to Engadine.

Under the NSW Swimming Pools Act 1992, every one of those pools needs a compliant child-resistant barrier, and a valid certificate of compliance is required before a property is sold or leased. PoolPro Inspectors is a registered private certifier servicing the entire Shire.

FAQ

Sutherland Shire pool inspection FAQs.

Which council covers Sutherland Shire?

Sutherland Shire is administered by Sutherland Shire Council. We inspect to the same NSW standard (Swimming Pools Act 1992 & AS 1926.1-2012) regardless of council, so the process is identical across the region.

How long does a pool inspection take?

Most inspections take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size and layout of your pool barrier.

How much does it cost?

A flat $250 + GST for a Sutherland Shire pool barrier inspection and compliance certificate. You can book and pay online.

Do I need a certificate to sell or lease my property?

Yes. Under the Swimming Pools Act 1992 a valid certificate of compliance (or non-compliance) must be attached to a contract of sale or provided before a lease begins. See our compliance guide for detail.

What if my pool doesn't pass?

You receive a written list of exactly what needs rectifying and a certificate of non-compliance. You then have time to fix the issues and book a re-inspection.
