Building regulations for swimming pool fencing

In NSW, there are legal requirements for pool fencing and other approved child-resistant barriers to be installed around all swimming pools and spa pools. Pool fencing gives added protection by preventing access to the pool area. However, inadequate pool fencing continues to be a major contributing factor in the rate of drowning among children under five years of age.
