Knowing the Safety and Planning Laws for Whangarei
Throughout New Zealand, there are pool safety and planning laws in place however, they can vary depending on the district where you live. Here are some of the pool safety and planning laws that are applicable here in Whangarei:
For a new pool to be built at your property, you may need to obtain a building consent first.
Your new swimming pool or spa must have a compliant pool barrier surrounding it to prevent young children from drowning. As a new pool owner, it will be your responsibility to look after and maintain your pool fencing when need be. Additionally, under the Building Act, all pool owners are required to have their pool fencing professionally inspected every 3 years by either an independent qualified pool inspector (IQPIs) or territorial authorities.
Your new pool will need to be registered with Whangarei District Council, although it will be automatically registered if built through the building consent process.
If you have town water at your home, the water main at your property will need to be fitted with a black flow preventer. This is done so that if there is a drop in the water pressure, pool water won’t flow backward and contaminate the water supply.
When it comes to organising your building consent, pool and backflow preventer, all of this will be handled by our highly skilled team, so it’s not something you’ll have to do.

Can I Use My Pool All Year Round With Wahangarei's Weather
Whangarei is lucky enough to experience warm summers and mild winters and this is because it’s located in New Zealand’s only sub-tropical climate zone, meaning for most, swimming year-round is a possibility. If you find it too cold in the winter to go swimming, you may not use a pool at this time of the year, but if you were to install a heating system, you might. Heating systems have advanced greatly over recent years, and many pool owners find them a beneficial investment as they enable them to use their pool on demand regardless of the weather.
Fibreglass pools retain warmth and heat faster too, so heating a fibreglass pool over another type can save you money on your heating costs. The heater won’t have to run for as long to achieve the desired temperature, and the water temperature won’t plummet as soon as you turn the heating system off. There are several options to choose from and if this is something you’d like for your new pool, mention it to our team, and they’ll be able to run you through your options.
