Streamlined Pool Approval Process

01

Consultation and Design

Our expert team will conduct a thorough site assessment to understand the specific requirements of your property. We work closely with you to create a detailed pool design plan that aligns with your vision and complies with local regulations. This step ensures that all aspects of the pool, from size and shape to features and finishes, are meticulously planned.

02

Approvals and Permits

Once the design plan is finalised, we handle the submission to the local council. This involves applying for a Development Application (DA) or Complying Development Certificate (CDC), depending on the complexity of your project. We ensure that all necessary permits, including building and plumbing permits, are obtained, streamlining the process and minimising delays.

03

Construction and Safety Compliance

With approvals and permits in place, construction begins. Our experienced team manages the entire building process, ensuring that the pool is constructed to the highest standards. We strictly adhere to NSW safety regulations, incorporating essential features like compliant fencing and self-closing gates to guarantee a secure environment for your family.

04

Inspection and Registration

After construction, we arrange for a registered certifier to inspect the pool, ensuring it meets all safety and building standards. Once the pool passes inspection, we assist with registering it on the NSW Swimming Pool Register. This step ensures ongoing compliance and makes it easier for future inspections and maintenance.

By following these streamlined steps, Blue Gum Pools ensures a smooth and efficient approval process, allowing you to enjoy your new pool with confidence and peace of mind.

Key Points to Consider in the Approval Process

Compliance with Local Regulations

Understand and adhere to local zoning laws and setback requirements to ensure your pool project meets all legal standards.

Obtain a Planning Certificate

Order a 10.7.2 Planning Certificate from your local council to determine property-specific restrictions and eligibility for development approval under the SEPP.

Development Application (DA) or Complying Development Certificate (CDC):

Submit a DA for complex projects or apply for a CDC for straightforward projects to streamline the approval process.

Secure Permits and Approvals

Obtain all necessary building and plumbing permits to proceed with construction legally and safely.
