NORTHERN BEACHES
Steel-reinforced concrete pools from Manly to Palm Beach. A family practice based in Belrose, building Sydney pools since 1968.
Our home ground
Wright Pools has worked the Northern Beaches as concrete pool builders from our Belrose yard since 1968. Swimming pool construction on this coast is our home ground, and we know the land because we have dug it. The peninsula runs on Hawkesbury sandstone, with deep coastal sand near the beaches, alluvial flats in the valleys, and bush blocks through the forest. Each one changes how a concrete shell is engineered.
We know the council too. Every suburb here sits under Northern Beaches Council, formed in 2016 from the old Manly, Warringah and Pittwater councils. That means coastal lagoon flood controls, foreshore building lines on the harbour and Pittwater, and bush-fire assessments through the forest. We know what each one asks for before we break ground.

What we build
As concrete pool builders on the Northern Beaches, we build the full range in steel-reinforced concrete, engineered in house for the block it sits on.
Most of our work here is residential concrete pools, drawn alongside the home's architect. On the sloping harbour and clifftop blocks of the peninsula we build infinity pools that run the water out to the view. On tight courtyards and terraces we build plunge pools to the same shell standard as a full pool, and for year-round swimming we build enclosed indoor pools. We also take on commercial swimming pool builds for the clubs, schools and developments across the region.
Planning and approval
Every suburb on this page sits under Northern Beaches Council, formed in 2016 from the former Manly, Warringah and Pittwater councils. One council now, but the ground beneath it still changes street by street, and the approval path changes with it.
A pool goes through either as a complying development certificate or as a full development application through council. Which one you are on has less to do with the pool than with what your land is flagged for. Four flags come up again and again on this coast.
Knowing which path your block is on early is what keeps a timeline honest. A complying development certificate usually lands in two to six weeks. A development application through council commonly runs two to four months. Both sit inside the six to nine months most projects take from the first site visit to the first swim.

Our process
Featured work
Whale Beach
The property runs back from a coastal headland with the ocean filling the eastern view. The pool had to sit between the house and the horizon without breaking the line. We poured a low concrete shell with a wet edge facing the ocean, travertine coping, and a dark grey interior that picks up the colour of the water beyond.
