Pools by region
What is genuinely local about a pool is the council: its inspection fee, how it runs its 3-yearly checks, and what it publishes about barriers. There are 67 territorial authorities in New Zealand and 3 region pages here, because those are the ones whose current fee schedules we have read in full.
Auckland
Auckland Council
- Swimming or spa pool inspection (each): $209
- Extra charge for a failed inspection, or no access to the pool area: $209
Bay of Plenty
Tauranga City Council
- First pool compliance inspection: Included in property rates as a targeted rate.
- Each additional pool compliance inspection: $204
Hamilton
Hamilton City Council
- Routine 3-yearly pool inspection: No separate charge in the council's building fee schedule; it lists only the audit rate below.
- Additional pool monitoring audit (per hour): $252
Regions we have not published
- Wellington. Wellington City Council's pool pages have moved and we could not read a current inspection fee. Ask the council directly before you budget for one.
- Canterbury. Christchurch City Council's pool pages return an error to us. We will not publish a fee we have not read.
We would rather have a few honest region pages than twelve with invented fees on them.
