Do swimming pools and spas need to be installed by registered building practitioners?
Installing a pool or spa involves a number of specialised trades and techniques. You may engage a registered building practitioner or choose to undertake the work yourself as an owner-builder. If you engage a registered building practitioner to undertake the work they must provide you with a major domestic building contract (over $5,000), and provide domestic building insurance (over $12,000). If you undertake the work as an owner-builder, you need to undetake a Certificate of Consent by reading and completing the Owner-builder Information and Education Kit.
