Pool Removal around Blackwood
The City of Mitcham's swimming pools page says development approval applies to in-ground, above-ground, inflatable and portable pools for installing or upgrading a pool barrier, including boundary fencing, and for removing an existing pool or spa.
The council also says swimming pool backwash water must not be discharged to or allowed to run off into roadways, gutters, creeks, rivers, lakes, coastal waters or neighbouring properties, which matters when the pool is drained. Another council reads the whole-demolition rule differently, so check with Mitcham for your address.
Permits and City of Mitcham rules
Whether removing a pool needs a development application is for your council or PlanSA's approval wizard to say: the regulations take the demolition of the whole of a building out of the definition of development, unless it is a local heritage place or a building in a zone, subzone or overlay the Planning and Design Code identifies, and partial demolition is outside that exclusion.
