On behalf of members, SPASA regularly engages with the Australian and New Zealand federal and state governments to keep on top of changes in regulations, building codes and standards that impact planning, building and manufacturing of pools and related equipment.
SPASA prepares submissions, in a member of government working groups and participates in a range of Australian and New Zealand standard committees that impact the swimming pool and spa industry.
SPASA will issue a Member Alert for urgent and important updates that we want members to be aware of. Look out for these member alerts in your inbox and if you want to check out a past member alert, they can be found in our industry news section.
If you want to keep on top of the latest industry news, make sure you are receiving the Weekly News sent every Thursday to all SPASA members. If you don’t receive this, please contact your Regional Manager today to update your details.
SPASA works to support industry professionals across the swimming pool and spa industry to understand the rules and regulations that impact how your business operates.
To help members navigate these rules and regulations, SPASA develops ‘industry guides’. These Guide are prepared by industry experts and offer a deeper dive into a topic and can provide guidance on the specifics of what to do.
SPASA Industry Guides are free for members.

There are a range of government agencies involved in setting the rules and regulating the design, construction and maintenance of swimming pools and spas. Each Australian state and territory has its own unique, yet similar, rules for swimming pools and spas. New Zealand has national and local government laws that set the standards for pools and spas.
