Nexus Pool and Spa Compliance offers an Initial Pool & Spa Safety Barrier Inspection to help property owners in Melbourne's eastern and surrounding suburbs meet their legal obligations. As of December 2019, Victoria's Building Regulations require the registration, inspection, and certification of all swimming pools and spas every four years. Our comprehensive safety barrier inspection service is conducted by registered building practitioners with the Building Plumbing Commission (formerly VBA). Before the inspection, owners must register their pool or spa with the local council and obtain a Registration Confirmation Letter, which identifies the applicable version of the Australian Standards. During the initial inspection, which typically takes between 15 to 60 minutes depending on the complexity of your barrier, our expert inspectors will thoroughly evaluate your pool environment to ensure it meets all local regulations. While it is preferred that someone is present at the property, we can conduct the inspection as long as access and written consent are provided. Following the assessment, we provide an on-site debrief to discuss our findings. If your safety barrier is fully compliant, we will immediately issue a Certificate of Barrier Compliance (Form 23), which you must submit to your local council within 30 days. If non-compliances are found, we supply a detailed, itemised inspection report complete with photographic evidence outlining what needs to be repaired. Our goal is to make navigating pool safety regulations simple, straightforward, and stress-free, giving you peace of mind that your pool and spa area is secure for family and visitors.
