A pool that works for the way you actually live
The Sanctuary is one of the most popular shapes in the Compass range across Central Queensland — clean geometric lines with a full-length bench, wide entry steps, and a shallow-to-deep floor. It sits well with modern architectural homes and fits an unusually wide range of block sizes and shapes.
The 7.0 and 8.2 are our two most-quoted Sanctuary sizes locally. The Narrow variants at 6.0, 7.0 and 8.2 (all 3.4m wide instead of 4.2m) are a specific fit for newer estates with tighter side setbacks (a common constraint in newer Yeppoon and North Rockhampton releases). The 4.8 works for townhouse and downsizer builds where a compact pool still needs to look intentional. The 10.6 is the entertainer-scale Sanctuary — proper family swim distance in the same clean geometric shape.
“The Sanctuary is the pool we recommend most often to Central Queensland families. It fits the widest range of backyards, and the shallow-to-deep floor works for kids and adults equally well.”
— Trent and the Gen2 Pools team
The Sanctuary in Central Queensland
The Sanctuary is our most-quoted pool shape across newer estate builds in the Rockhampton region — Norman Gardens, Frenchville, Lammermoor, Parkhurst, and the newer Yeppoon coastal releases. The clean geometric shape sits well with contemporary architectural homes, and the variable-depth floor works genuinely well for CQ families.
The narrow “N” variants have become increasingly important. Newer estates often have reduced side setbacks — 1.5m instead of the older 3m standard — which means a standard 4.2m-wide pool doesn’t leave enough clearance. The 6.0N, 7.0N and 8.2N are 3.4m wide and specifically solve that problem without giving up length or shape.
Popular Sanctuary configurations locally: 7.0 or 8.2 in Sapphire or Pacific with LED lighting; the 6.0N in Evolution for modern architectural homes; and the 4.8 for smaller townhouse and downsizer builds where a compact pool still needs to look intentional.
Sanctuary Pool Features
The design details that make the Sanctuary the right pool for hundreds of Central Queensland families.
Modern Geometric Shape
Clean contemporary lines that complement modern homes and landscaping. The Sanctuary reads as a design feature, not just a splash zone.
Full-Length Bench
A bench runs the full length of one side — ideal for relaxing in the water, supervising children, or socialising.
Wide Entry Steps
Safe, generous entry steps make getting in and out easy for kids, older swimmers and everyone in between.
Shallow to Deep Bottom
Gently sloping floor from 1.18m at the shallow end to 1.54–1.97m at the deep end. Genuinely versatile for families with kids of different ages.
Three Narrow Variants
The 6.0, 7.0 and 8.2 all come in Narrow (3.4m wide) variants — increasingly common on newer estates across Yeppoon and North Rockhampton with reduced side setbacks.
Fully Customisable
Add a spa, Sunpod water feature or LED lighting to make your Sanctuary uniquely yours.
Make Your Sanctuary Your Own
Every Sanctuary can be customised to suit your yard and how you plan to use the pool. Popular options include:
Spa Combo
Add an integrated Compass spa alongside the pool — shared plumbing and heating, independent temperature controls. Popular for year-round use in Central Queensland.
Beach Zone
A shallow entry / beach zone for toddlers, sun lounges in the water, and that resort feel. Ideal for Yeppoon and Capricorn Coast lifestyle installs.
Sunpod Feature
A custom tiled Sunpod water bubbler along the pool edge adds a striking visual and soothing water sound.
LED Pool Lighting
Custom LED lighting turns your pool into a landscape feature at night and extends the hours you can enjoy it — critical in CQ summer.
Every Sanctuary Comes with Compass Technology
The Sanctuary isn't just a beautiful shape — it's built on the strongest, smartest fibreglass pool technology in Australia.
Ceramic Core Strength
The patented ceramic composite core is what makes Compass shells dramatically stronger than standard fibreglass. Handles reactive clay soils common in CQ without micro-cracking.

Everything Central Queensland families ask us about the Compass Sanctuary.
What sizes does the Sanctuary come in?
Nine configurations: 4.8, 6.0, 6.0 Narrow, 7.0, 7.0 Narrow, 8.2, 8.2 Narrow, 9.4, and 10.6. The 7.0 and 8.2 are the most popular in the Rockhampton region.
What are the Narrow variants?
The 6.0 Narrow, 7.0 Narrow, and 8.2 Narrow are all 3.4m wide instead of the standard 4.2m. Same length, same depth, narrower footprint. Fit into tighter blocks and newer estates with reduced side setbacks — increasingly common across new subdivisions in the CQ region.
How deep is the Sanctuary?
Consistent 1.18m shallow end across every size, deep end varies from 1.54m (Sanctuary 4.8) to 1.97m (Sanctuary 9.4 and 10.6). All shapes use the same shallow-to-deep floor profile.
Is the Sanctuary good for small backyards?
The Sanctuary 4.8 is compact enough for most tight blocks, and the Narrow variants (6.0, 7.0, 8.2) are popular for older Rockhampton character blocks and Yeppoon townhouse builds. Book a site visit — we'll tell you the biggest Sanctuary that fits.
Can I add a spa to my Sanctuary?
Yes — the Sanctuary's clean geometric shape pairs beautifully with an integrated Compass spa. See our Combo Pools page.
Is Vantage self-cleaning available?
Yes — every Sanctuary size can be built with Vantage in-floor cleaning. Must be specified with the original build. See our Vantage feature page.
Which Sanctuary size is most popular for a standard CQ family block?
The 8.2 Sanctuary is our most-quoted for suburban blocks in Rockhampton, Yeppoon and Gladstone. Big enough for laps, a wide beach zone for the kids, and it still leaves proper backyard space. The 10.6 suits acreage.
Can I add an integrated spa to a Sanctuary?
Yes — the Sanctuary Combo range is a single seamless shell with the spa integrated at one end. Four sizes: 6.7, 7.9 (most popular), 8.9 and 10.1. See the Combo Pools page for details.
