An answer is only useful on site if you can stand behind it. Every response is structured the same way, so you can verify it and move.

On a pool job in Brisbane, how far does the switchboard have to sit from the water?
StandardsMate
Keep the switchboard outside, and not above, every pool zone: more than 3.5 m from the internal rim where there's no wall or solid barrier at least 1.8 m high in between.

Zone 1 runs 2.0 m from the internal rim and Zone 2 a further 1.5 m, more near a diving board, starting block or slide.

Clause-level citation
Answers name the clause they draw on, and the standard and section when no single clause fits. No invented clause numbers.
Standard and edition
The standard, the edition and the clause, so you know exactly where to check it before you sign off.
State-aware by default
Where a state amends the national rule, the answer flags the variation that applies to the job. NSW rules for a NSW job.

From 600 pages to one answer.

AS/NZS 3000 alone runs past 600 pages. The answer you need is one clause inside it.
