- Certified & Officially Recognized Building Inspector
- Engagement with DELWP for Consistent Compliance
Ensuring adherence to the compulsory pool barrier inspection norms, we facilitate the thorough maintenance of all pre-existing swimming pools and spas across Victoria. Receive an on-the-spot certificate if your pool/spa barrier aligns with Victoria's pool fencing regulations.
Adhering to Victorian Regulations, we affirm that pools must embody safety and restrict access consistently, not just sporadically. The consistent way to affirm 24/7 Pool Safety is through the establishment of durable pool fencing.
Although each Australian state formulates its own regulations, the foundational principles largely echo each other. The pool fencing regulations in Victoria are formulated on similar safety precepts, applicable across all Victorian towns and cities, inclusive of Melbourne.

The VBA's pool and spa safety barrier self-assessment checklists are available for:
- Checklist 1 (for installations before 8 April 1991)
- Checklist 2 (between 8 April 1991 and 30 April 2010)
- Checklist 3 (from 1 May 2010 onward)If modifications to an existing safety barrier are being made, a permit might be required. Any alteration will need to align with the current Regulations.
Can the boundary fence serve as a part of the barrier? Absolutely, the fresh guidelines establish the boundary barrier height at 1.8 metres.
Can an above-ground pool function as a part of my barrier? Indeed, as per AS 1926.1-2012, this is permissible. An application assessment and a building permit issuance by a Building Surveyor are prerequisites.
Is a building permit a necessity for a swimming pool barrier? Yes, a building permit must be issued and subsequently passed by a Building Inspector.
Does my spa lid qualify as part of the barrier? No, a separate barrier is mandatory, which needs to be inspected independently.
Do all powder-coated pool fence panels comply? Regrettably, not all powder-coated fences adhere to identical premium manufacturing standards. A quick test of squeezing two vertical members together to check rigidity can be performed. If gaps of more than 100mm can be created, they might not be up to the requisite manufacturing norms.
