Swimming Pool Tips for Melbourne
Melbourne pools almost always require heating — solar heating ($3,000–$6,000) or a heat pump ($4,000–$8,000) extends the swimming season from 3 months to 8–10 months
Planning permits are required for pool construction in most Melbourne councils — check with your local council early as approval timelines vary from 4–12 weeks
Melbourne's clay soils can affect pool construction costs — expect higher excavation costs in clay-heavy suburbs and factor in additional drainage requirements
