Crafting Backyards with Care

Billabong Pool Co provides professional pool builders in Illawarra, offering fully managed fibreglass pool installations tailored to the needs of local homeowners. With over 20 years of industry experience and a reputation for coordinated outdoor projects, the team delivers efficient, compliant installations suited to the unique conditions of coastal and suburban blocks.


From small family yards to new home developments, each project is carefully planned and carried out by the same in-house team, ensuring consistency, quality, and open communication at every stage. Illawarra properties often require solutions for sloped terrain, soil variation, or compact spaces.


The team assesses each site with these factors in mind and selects pool shapes, access plans, and finishes that suit both the layout and the intended use of the space. Pool installation is supported by detailed planning, industry-compliant safety practices, and the option to coordinate surrounding landscaping for a cohesive finish. Homeowners are guided through the full process, including design advice, site prep, council approvals, and handover.

Tailored Installations for Illawarra Homes

Installing a fibreglass pool in Illawarra requires an approach that accounts for site access, block shape, and local council requirements. Billabong Pool Co begins each project with a detailed site evaluation to plan safe, practical excavation and delivery of the fibreglass shell.


The prefabricated structure allows for a faster install and reduced construction disruption, while also offering a durable, low-maintenance surface. Every installation follows a structured process that includes plumbing, electrical setup, backfill, and finishing work to ensure the pool is ready for fencing and final detailing.


Special attention is given to coastal site challenges such as sandy soils or high water tables, which can affect installation methods and drainage planning. Safety is a key focus on every site, with equipment, fencing, and procedures in place to manage risks during each stage of the job. Optional upgrades like lighting, filtration, or pool heating can be incorporated as part of the standard build. For homeowners looking to complete their space, integrated landscaping is also available through the same project team.

  • What is involved in the fibreglass pool installation process?

    The fibreglass pool installation process begins with site inspection and planning. Once approvals are in place, excavation is completed, and the fibreglass shell is delivered and lowered into position. Plumbing and electrical work follow, along with backfilling and connection of filtration equipment. After that, the area is prepared for fencing and finishing. The entire process is typically coordinated to meet council and safety standards, with multiple quality checks along the way.

  • Is a soil test required before installing a pool?

    Yes, a soil test is often recommended before installing an in-ground pool, especially in areas like Illawarra, where soil types can vary. Soil testing helps determine the composition, drainage capacity, and load-bearing characteristics of the ground, which are important for excavation, backfill, and structural support. This information assists the builder in selecting the right construction method and materials.

  • What approvals do I need to build a pool in Illawarra?

    Most in-ground pool installations require development approval or a complying development certificate through Illawarra City Council or a private certifier. Plans must include pool dimensions, setbacks, safety fencing, drainage, and erosion control measures. Approval ensures that the pool complies with relevant legislation, including the Building Code of Australia and NSW Swimming Pools Act.
