Considering a new swimming pool for your Dunedin property? This guide breaks down everything you need to know, from the typical installation costs and factors influencing the price, to understanding the local climate considerations that make pool heating a popular choice. We also clarify the essential council permission requirements for pool installation in Dunedin, including details on building consents for both the pool structure and safety barriers, to help you navigate the process smoothly.

The cost of a new pool in Dunedin typically ranges from $60,000 to $120,000, depending on its size and design. The final price is based on a number of factors, including site access, ground conditions, and the features you choose. Building a pool in Dunedin has its own considerations. The city's colder climate means that heating is a common choice, and our pools can be heated to a higher temperature of 35 degrees, allowing for a longer swimming season. This also means you can make the most of your investment year-round, even in the colder months. Our pools are also designed for New Zealand's unique environmental conditions, which is important for the region's geography.

Yes, in almost every case, you will need council permission to install a swimming pool in Dunedin. This process is managed through a building consent from the Dunedin City Council and is primarily focused on safety. The consent process is typically made up of two parts: the pool structure itself and the safety barrier (fence). The Pool Structure: A building consent is required for any pool with a water surface area greater than 35m_. The Fence: All pools capable of holding more than 400mm of water must have a compliant safety barrier, regardless of the pool's size. The barrier and its gates must be inspected and approved by the council. To make the process simpler and more affordable for our clients, we have a range of 'Dream' and 'Urban' pools. We've specifically designed these pools to have a water surface area of less than 35m_, which means the pool structure itself is exempt from needing a building consent. However, it's very important to note that even with these smaller pools, you will still need a building consent for the safety barrier that goes around it. At NZ Swimming Pools, we walk you through the entire consent process. We have installers who can prepare and lodge all the necessary documentation with the Dunedin City Council to ensure your pool and its safety barrier are fully compliant with the building code. This way, you can be confident that your project is completed to the highest standard of safety and legality.
