Pool Barrier Inspections and Compliance
On 1 December 2019, new laws to improve swimming pool and spa safety came into effect in Victoria.
It is now mandatory for owners of land with a swimming pool or spa to register their pool or spa with the relevant council.Owners must also have their safety barriers inspected and lodge a certificate of barrier compliance with their local council. If a safety barrier is not compliant, it is the owner’s responsibility to make the barrier compliant.
