If You’re Planning to Get a Pool or Spa
In Victoria, the design, construction and installation of swimming pools, spas and safety barriers are subject to strict requirements under the Regulations.
Swimming pools, spas and safety barriers must comply with several requirements, including:
- being constructed by a builder registered in an appropriate category or class, or an owner-builder who has an owner-builder certificate of consent.
- Having self-latching and self-closing pool gates
- Complying with AS1926.1-2012
Property owners and occupants are responsible for making sure pool barriers are maintained, repaired and kept in working order. A new outdoor pool or spa area must also not be directly accessible via a building.
You can make sure your swimming pool or spa complies with these requirements by organising our pool safety inspection in Melbourne. Our team will assess the area, identify any issues and compile detailed reports that recommend solutions to address and rectify them.
Servicing All of Victoria
We proudly inspect pools and spas across Melbourne metro, regional Victoria, and coastal areas. Whether you’re a homeowner, landlord, or commercial property manager, we’re here to help you stay safe and compliant.
New Pool and Spa Registration and Inspection Requirements
On 1 December 2019, new laws to improve swimming pool and spa safety came into effect in Victoria. They introduced new registration, inspection and certification requirements for property owners.
As a pool or spa owner, you need to register your pool or spa with your local council. Refer to our “Registration Process” section for assistance.
Once registered, you will need to organise a pool safety inspection in Melbourne of your pool barrier by a registered swimming pool inspector. This is where the team at Keep Safe Pool Fence Inspections comes in. You can contact us for your pre-inspection or compliance inspection needs.
The inspection is likely to identify some non-compliance issues. You will need to have any non-compliance issues rectified prior to the barrier being re-inspected. Again, our registered pool inspector in Melbourne can help you with this.
After any non-compliance issues have been rectified, you will be issued with a certificate of compliance. This will need to be submitted to your council.
If You Already Have a Pool or Spa
As a pool or spa owner, you have an obligation to maintain the operation of your swimming pool or spa barrier to prevent unauthorised and unsafe access to the pool or spa area.
The following checklists will help you assess the safety of your barrier. The checklists are based on the relevant barrier standard associated with the date that the pool or spa was installed.
If you are having any work done on an existing safety barrier, a permit may need to be issued to alter the barrier. Work to alter an existing barrier will need to comply with the current Regulations.
