Pool costs in Australia — 2026 guide

Pool prices vary significantly by type, size, state and what's included. Here's what Australian homeowners typically pay:

Pool typeEntry levelMid rangePremiumInstall time
Fibreglass$25,000$35,000–$55,000$60,000+1–3 weeks
Concrete$45,000$65,000–$90,000$120,000+8–16 weeks
Plunge pool$18,000$28,000–$45,000$55,000+1–4 weeks

What affects the final price?

Site access is often the biggest variable — a narrow side gate or sloped block can add $5,000–$20,000 to excavation costs. Pool type is the second biggest — concrete pools cost more but are fully custom. Add-ons like heating, fencing, decking and landscaping frequently double the base pool cost once you see the full project scope.

Hidden costs to ask about

Many quotes don't include: council approval ($1,500–$3,000), excavation (varies significantly by soil and access), fencing (legally required in all states, $3,000–$8,000), pool surround / coping ($5,000–$15,000) and landscaping reinstatement. Always ask for an all-inclusive quote and compare at least 2–3 builders.
