Certification and council rules in Singleton

Singleton is Hunter coal country, and parts of the Hunter fall inside declared Mine Subsidence Districts where Subsidence Advisory NSW approval is required before building and where the surface development guidelines restrict pools directly — Guideline 6, for example, permits concrete inground pools up to 12 metres long and prohibits wet-edge designs entirely. The districts follow old workings rather than council boundaries, so check the address on the NSW Planning Portal spatial viewer before you commission a design. Approval also protects eligibility for subsidence compensation. NSW certificates of compliance last three years; council inspections are capped at $150.
