Register your public pool or spa

When would you need this?

Public pools and spas, including children’s splash pools, must be registered with us. A public swimming pool or spa pool are those to which the public is admitted, whether free of charge, on payment of a fee, or otherwise. This includes pools:

• to which the public is admitted as an entitlement of membership of a club
• provided at a workplace for the use of employees
• provided at a hotel, motel or guest house or at holiday units, or similar facility, for the use of guests
• provided at a school or hospital
• situated at private residential premises used for commercial purposes.

The Public Health Regulation 2022 requires all public swimming pools and spas to be registered with the local council. Registration is to be renewed annually to keep Council’s records up-to-date.

What you need to know:

• If you own or occupy a public pool or spa you will need to register it.
