All swimming pools and spas capable of containing water to a depth greater than 300 mm (30 cm) must have a compliant safety barrier to restrict access by young children (under the age of 5).

Owners need to engage a registered building surveyor or building inspector to carry out an inspection and issue a compliance certificate. This is what we specialise in and can help you with.
Once a pool or spa is registered, the local council will notify owners of the due date for the first certificate of pool barrier compliance. Owners are required to arrange an inspection and lodge the certificate with their local council by the due date.
