Hi, Emma. The best place to start is by adding photos, from the top of this page, to an ideabook on your homepage. You can put tropical Australian gardens into the search bar at top of page. Save the pics you like. Also, you need to add photos of your property exterior to this comments section here. Can also put them in a separate ideabook, so Houzzers don't get confused. A plan showing north, with dimensions, will also help you get really good advice.

we can't read the dimensions on the plans but it appears that the block isn't flat so the placement of access to the rear is affected by the slope and the reason for access...do you want/need to have an extra garage with driveway into the far back yard or just vehicle access for occasional gardening or pool maintenance? and this plan has the most exposure to the east and west which, depending on your climate, can be the most challenging to manage ...are there any changes possible to the plan or have you considered other plans for this block?

I would talk to your pool builder about the pool detail. They are the experts.

If you want to minimise the impact of what you put there, come out from the fence to the edge of the block wall with two small timber slatted panels just a bit higher than the equipment. Fix these securely in place. Then have a curved panel that looks the same but take the slats down to the paving. That way there will be no hard corners to bump into and will not look as bulky as a rectangular box that has to come out to the farthest point to cover it all. The curved panel could be hinged or pinned to the side panels for easy removal to access the pump for maintenance etc. If you want to recycle materials for this, take inspiration from a wine barrel or an electrical cable drum. Keep with the vertical lines of the fence behind, don't go horizontal or it will look too busy. C.
