Amended AS 19261 2024 and NCC 2025 boundary barriers changes
Swimming pool barrier requirements have been updated with the revision of AS 1926.1:2024, now referenced in NCC 2025. While the standard introduces clearer guidance on non-climbable zones and gate hardware, NCC 2025 also includes an important override that affects how boundary barriers must be treated on site.
This resource explains the key changes, including updated diagrams, landscaping rules near barriers, and revised latch and hinge requirements. It also clarifies that NCC 2025 overrides part of the revised standard, meaning boundary barriers must still meet the 500 mm clearance requirement to maintain effective barrier height.
If your projects include swimming pools, understanding these updates can help avoid compliance issues and rework. Get practical guidance on applying the updated pool barrier rules as NCC 2025 is adopted across states and territories.
