Swimming Pool & Spa Safety Fence & Barrier Inspections

Do you need to organise a swimming pool & spa safety fence & barrier inspection?

New legislation regarding pool and spa barrier safety has been introduced in Victoria.
Serious penalties apply to owners who do not comply with the new rules.

If you are the owner of a pool or spa, you need to complete the following four crucial steps:

Register your pool or spa with your local council (registration deadlines differ according to the construction date of your pool or spa).
Have your safety barrier inspected by a VBA-registered inspector to make sure it meets Australian safety standards – or rectify any issues or defects identified.
Submit a Certificate of Pool and Spa Barrier Compliance to your local council within 30 days of the date of issue of the certificate.
Have your pool or spa barrier re-inspected every four years.

The VBA has detailed information on deadlines and requirements.

Your inspector must be VBA-registered

Our pool safety inspections meet all relevant Australian Standards and are conducted by experienced inspectors who have undertaken VBA-accredited training and registration.

Our inspectors are VBA registered under the designation Building Inspector (Pool Safety).

What Do I Need to Do?

Once you have registered your pool or spa with your local council, call us to book a Swimming Pool & Spa Safety Barrier Inspection.

Please note: We do not carry out any repairs or building work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Contacted George to do a building inspection as he came highly recommended by a friend. He was able to get out there the next day and provided the report promptly without any hassles at all. Would not hesitate to recommend George and SPI inspections if you're after great service and a thorough inspection report.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with SPI throughout our house construction. Frank was incredibly helpful and took the time to answer all of our questions, making the entire inspection process easy to understand.

I highly recommend SPI for building inspections. While builders do their best, it's always worthwhile to have an independent inspection for added confidence. It gave us real peace of mind knowing that our home was built safely and to a high standard.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We engaged SPI Property Inspections to carry out a final inspection for us. Frank did a very thorough job and picked up a number of things that would have otherwise not been found and we would have been left to fix ourselves after the sale was completed.
Very happy we went with this company and had the inspection undertaken. Definitely worth the minor cost compared to what it would have cost us to have the repairs done!
