While installing a pool is a momentous and exciting time, there are some important considerations to factor in when building a pool in Brisbane:

Knowing the Safety and Planning Laws for Brisbane

Every state and territory in the country has its own pools laws and regulations enforced. This is what you should have an understanding of when it comes to the pool safety and planning laws in Brisbane.

Before construction can begin, a building permit, sewerage and water supply approval and a structural stability approval will need to be submitted and approved by your local council. In most instances, your pool builder will take care of this for you. Make sure you verify that the pool builder is licenced, you can do this via the Queensland Building and Construction Commission. Your pool builder should give you a domestic contract, you must read it in full and agree to the terms outlined before signing it. You will then sign it along with the pool builder. Once everything has been given the green light from council and you have been given a signed copy of your contract, your pool builder can then start construction.

In Brisbane, all pools and spas must be registered on the Queensland Pool Safety Register. Your pool and the pool safety barrier will be inspected by a building certifier. Your pool builder should organize this for you on your behalf.

Which fibreglass pool is best suited to me in Brisbane?

In Brisbane, you’ll find an abundance of fibreglass pools all varying in age, shapes, sizes and designs. Over the years, they have become increasingly popular due to the numerous benefits they offer. They are quick to install, economical to run and require very little maintenance compared to other types of pools. Which type of fibreglass pool is best suited to you in Brisbane depends on a few things like your budget and how much room you have in your backyard for a pool. Generally, those that live in the city and built-up areas of Brisbane tend to have smaller pools such as spas and lap pools. Moving outwards towards the suburbs, you’ll find more family-sized pools such as our Brampton and Billabong varieties as they usually have bigger backyards to accommodate larger pool varieties not only that, a lot of families reside in these areas and most want a pool big enough to grow with the family. Its no secret that Australian backyards are getting smaller and many pool companies now make pools to fit in virtually any size backyard. This means owning a pool is no longer a luxury exclusive to people with generous backyards. Plunge pools are a great example of this as they are ideal for the modern-day backyard. They allow enough space for one or two to swim comfortably and heat efficiently.

Can I use my pool all year round with Brisbane’s weather?

If you’re lucky enough to live in Brisbane, you would know how exceptional the weather is for the most part. With warm temperatures throughout the year and mild winters, there’s no better location to install a swimming pool. Most people in Brisbane enjoy their pool comfortably except for winter. If using your pool year-round is something you’d like or you have elderly people or young children to think of, you should consider heating. There are many options available and a popular one is solar. Rather than relying on an artificial energy source, it harnesses natural energy from the sun to heat your pool. Solar heating is not only better for the environment, but it can reduce your heating costs significantly. Because Brisbane is reasonably warm, you most likely won’t have to use it very often, only in the cooler months and once they have passed, you can turn it off, this makes your running costs minimal.
