If your property has a pool
Whether you own or rent a property with a pool, it’s your responsibility to make sure it has a barrier around it that complies with the Building (Pools) Amendment Act 2017.
All pools in Wellington City should be on our pools register, and swimming pools must be inspected through a pool audit every 3 years. Small heated pools, like hot tubs and spas, do not need to be inspected if they meet the requirements.
You can choose to have a pool audit carried out by the Council or an independently qualified pool inspector.
Pool audits
Check if your pool is on our register
We keep a register of all pools in Wellington City so they can be inspected.
Phone the Building Compliance team on 04 801 4311 if you want to:
- check if a pool, hot tub or spa is on the register
- report a non-compliant pool
- find out if a pool has been removed from the register.
