What’s Involved in a Pool Barrier Inspection
Step-by-Step Guidance From Your VBA-Registered Pool Inspector
Your inspection includes:
-
A comprehensive check of your pool or spa barrier for compliance with Victorian safety standards.
-
A written report outlining any areas needing attention.
-
A Certificate of Pool and Spa Barrier Compliance (Form 23) once your barrier meets requirements.
If minor fixes are needed, Denise will clearly explain what to do and often wait whilst you do it — no confusion, no hidden fees. Our goal is to help you pass first time.
How to Prepare for Your Ballarat Pool Inspection
Simple Pool Fence Safety Tips to Help You Pass First Time
A few quick checks before your inspection can save you time and money:
-
Gates must self-close and self-latch every time.
-
Fences must be at least 1.2 metres high with no climbable objects nearby.
-
No gaps under or between fences larger than 100mm.

Common Pool Barrier Issues We Find in Ballarat
Common Reasons Ballarat Pools Don't Comply
Every property is different, but some of the most common issues I identify during pool fence inspections in Ballarat include:
-
Gates that no longer self-close or self-latch correctly (usually need a simple adjustment or tighten)
-
Gaps beneath fencing that exceed allowable limits
-
Landscaping changes that have created climbing points
-
Temporary objects such as outdoor furniture or pot plants placed against the barrier
The good news is that many of these issues are straightforward to rectify once they're identified.
My aim is to clearly explain any required improvements so you know exactly what needs to be done before your compliance certificate can be issued. The majority of these can be resolved on the spot and if not, I'll give you some ideas on how to resolve the non-compliances and we can book a reinspection within 60 days once you are ready.
