 New South Wales is the only Australian state or territory to require that infinity or drop edge pools have fencing greater than the standard 1200mm height requirement.Changes to the NSW legislation state that from 29 April 2016, NSW residential properties with a swimming pool or spa pool must have a certificate of compliance, a certificate of non-compliance or an occupation certificate for the pool barrier/fencing before the property can be leased or sold.There is no federal pool fence law currently in place within the United States.
