Our Pool & Spa Barrier Services
Full Compliance Assessment & Certificate
If your pool or spa is due for inspection under Victorian legislation, we conduct a detailed on-site assessment of your barrier system and provide a clear report outlining compliance status.
What’s Covered:
- Measurement of barrier height and non-climbable zones
- Gate operation, self-closing and self-latching mechanisms
- Gap testing under fences and around structures
- Assessment of boundary fences forming part of the barrier
- Inspection of doors, windows, and access points (if applicable)
- Condition of fencing panels, posts, and structural integrity
- CPR signage requirements
- Identification of climbable objects within the non-climbable zone
If compliant, we issue the required Certificate of Barrier Compliance for submission to your local council.
If non-compliant, we provide a clear defect list with practical guidance on rectification.
Reinspection
If your barrier was previously found non-compliant, we conduct a reinspection once rectification works are completed.
What’s Covered:
- Review of previously identified non-compliance items
- Verification of corrected barrier height or gaps
- Testing of adjusted gate mechanisms
- Confirmation removal of climbable objects
- Final compliance validation
Once all items meet standards, we issue the compliance certificate so you can submit to council with confidence.
