The rules in the Cootamundra-Gundagai Regional Council area
NSW pool compliance is a statewide system with a local doorway. Owners across Cootamundra and Gundagai follow the state rules: registration on the NSW Swimming Pool Register, a compliant barrier at all times, and a certificate of compliance (valid 3 years) attached to any sale contract or in place before any lease. The Cootamundra-Gundagai twist is simply who you book and what it costs locally.

Before the inspection
Most first inspections fail on cheap items - gates, gaps and climbable objects. Run the DIY pre-inspection checklist first, and see the NSW inspection checklist for what certifiers assess, including the era-based rules for older pools.
