Overview
The new pool fence regulations were released in Victoria in December 2019. Every swimming pool and spa must be inspected by a registered inspector, and a Certificate of Compliance must be issued and submitted to the Council every 4 years.
At Balwyn Pool Fence Inspections, we are authorised and able to help you carry out the assessment and inspection on your pool, and issue a compliance certificate once your pool barrier has met the regulations.
Before issuing a compliance certificate, we will check:
- Your pool fence & gates
- Location of pool fence
- Vertical gaps in the pool fence
- Gaps at the bottom of the pool fence
- Height of the pool fence
- Ensuring gates are self-closing and latching
What Happens If The Pool Fence Isn't Compliant?
After inspecting your pool and spa fences against our expertise in pool compliance, we will issue you with a written report. If the pool is non-compliant, you will be given 60 days to rectify the issues and then we will re-inspect.
Upon the re-inspection, we will check the relevant areas of your pool fence to ensure it is now compliant. If compliant, we will issue a Compliance Certificate.
As we have seen all sorts of safety issues, we’re able to make excellent recommendations on how to rectify any issues that pop up as soon as possible. Tom also has connections with local businesses to ensure you can quickly (and reasonably) get your pool compliant.
