Pool owners are required to register their swimming pools and spa before 29 October 2013 by visiting the NSW Swimming Pool Register Website at www.swimmingpoolregister.nsw.gov.au or face fines between $220 and $2,200.

To register a pool, pool owners will need to know:

• Physical address of the pool and/or spa
• Type of property such as a private residence, multi-unit or tourist accommodation
• When the pool/spa was built
• If the pool barrier has been substantially modified or rebuilt and when that took place

The NSW Government has developed a flier to assist the public called "Everything you need to know about the Swimming Pool register" which you can download here.
