Pool work in Clear Island Waters

Many Clear Island Waters homes are owned outright by longer-term residents, so a project is often an update to an existing pool. A renovation can bring an older pool and its barrier up to date. A compact plunge pool is another option where a full pool is more than the household needs.

Questions

Pool Builders in Clear Island Waters — FAQs

Not covered here? Send your question through the form.

+ Is a revetment wall the same as a retaining wall on a Clear Island Waters canal lot?

No. The City of Gold Coast describes a revetment wall as a permanent structure protecting land from erosion and subsidence next to waterways, maintained by the waterfront owner. A retaining wall elsewhere on the lot can form part of a pool barrier if it meets the pool safety standard.

+ Where can a pool go on a Clear Island Waters canal block?

Within the City's waterfront setback for the lot. The City of Gold Coast publishes waterfront setbacks for buildings and revetment regulation lines for walls around Clear Island Lake and the other canals, so check them before the design is fixed.

+ Can I do pool work myself at my Clear Island Waters home?

Some, within limits. QBCC requires an owner builder permit if you estimate your own work at more than $11,000, and anyone you engage for work of $3,300 or more needs a contractor licence. With 44.9% of homes owned outright, many owners here manage their own upgrades.
