With the weather heating up and NSW's vaccination rates increasing as well, Premier Gladys Berejiklian has announced that outdoor pools across the state will be able to open again from So, if your usual spring routine involves taking a dip, doing a few laps or just otherwise enjoying your closest pool, that'll finally be back on the cards in just over a week.
Natural pools are already allowed to open, but this change applies to all of NSW's other outdoor pools, which'll be permitted to get splashing again — and yes, in all parts of the state. The councils behind each outdoor pool will need to have a stringent COVID safety plan in place, however, and those plans will need to have been approved by NSW Health.
But, as long as that is the case, outdoor pools across the state can start welcoming in swimmers again before the end of the month. Any changes or alterations to your pool or bathhouse beyond what was originally approved by our department will require a modification permit from the Center for Environmental Health before the work may commence.
The application for a modification permit can be found here. If unvaccinated, wear cloth masks when not in water.
