Do I need council approval for a cold plunge in Adelaide?
For freestanding portable units: generally no. For built-in plunge pools: it depends on size, depth (pool safety fencing applies above 300mm in most states), and your specific local council. Your installer should advise — always confirm before breaking ground on any permanent structure.
