The changes that need to be made to safety barriers will depend on several factors. These include the type of safety barrier that is currently in place and the location of the swimming pool or spa in relation to other buildings, structures and boundary fences on the property.
Any swimming pool or spa built, altered or installed since 1 May 2013 has been legally required to be compliant with the safety standards. Any work needed on these swimming pools and spas should be limited.
The main upgrades will be required for swimming pools and spas built, altered or installed before 1 May 2013. The likely changes required for swimming pools and spas built before 1 May 2013 are documented in the factsheets above.
