Melbourne Pool Safety Compliance

Welcome to Melbourne Pool Safety Compliance, located at 13a Saltau Street, Keilor East, Australia. As an establishment and point of interest, we are dedicated to ensuring swimming pool and spa safety in compliance with the new requirements set by the Victorian Government.

Under the new regulations, it is now mandatory for property owners with swimming pools or spas to register them with the relevant council. If you own a pool or spa in Victoria, it is crucial to register it with the Council within your municipality before 1 November 2020. Upon registration, prescribed fees must be paid to the council.

At Melbourne Pool Safety Compliance, we understand that navigating these new rules can be confusing. That's why our team of professional inspectors is here to help. We will guide you through the necessary steps to ensure a safe and compliant spa for your property.

When you choose our services, you can expect a comprehensive report on your pool or spa barriers conducted by a fully certified and insured building inspector specializing in pool safety. If your barriers are compliant, we will issue a Certificate of Compliance (Form 23) within 24 hours. You will then have 30 days to submit the certificate to your Council.

In the event that your barriers are found to be non-compliant, we will work closely with you to find solutions to make them safe and compliant. You will have up to 60 days to complete the necessary rectification works after the first inspection. A re-inspection will be required within 60 days of the initial inspection.

Our goal is to assist you in complying with the relevant standard requirements. We will provide you with a letter regarding the build date of your pool and the applicable Australian standard for your pool inspection. Additionally, please provide us with a copy of your council registration letter.

It is important to note that any pool or spa without a safety barrier must be registered with your local council, and a permanent safety barrier must be installed. For in-ground pools or spas, a surrounding fence is required, even if the fence was compliant when built. Locks may also need to be installed on any gates. Above ground pools must have a safety barrier at least 1.2 meters high and may require additional devices depending on the pool's fittings.

Owners of temporary swimming pools, such as inflatable pools, spas, or wading pools, are not affected by these regulations and do not require registration or inspections. Commercial or public swimming pools are also not currently impacted, although voluntary compliance with the standards is encouraged.

Pool safety is our priority, and we ensure that your barriers are permanent and secure against unauthorized access. While they must prevent climbing, they do not need to completely block access to diving boards or ladders.

Don't hesitate to give us a call today if you have any questions or need assistance with the new Victorian rules regarding pool and spa safety. Melbourne Pool Safety Compliance is here to help you have a safe and compliant swimming experience.
