Preliminary Pool Safety Barrier Consultation

Ensure Compliance, Prevent Accidents & Enjoy Peace of Mind

If you’re planning to install a new pool, or are upgrading your existing pool or spa, it’s better to get ahead and book a Preliminary Pool Safety Barrier Consultation BEFORE the construction work begins with VIC POOL INSPECTORS! This way, you can guarantee that everything you build and install is fully compliant with the Victorian government’s pool & spa registration requirements. Passing your pool inspection will be a total breeze!

What is a Preliminary Pool Safety Barrier Consultation?

A Preliminary Pool Safety Barrier Consultation essentially involves a pre-inspection of your swimming pool or spa area so that you know what needs to be done to become compliant. You will enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing that you’re building a fun and SAFE space for your family, especially small children.

These consultations are carried out by our professional VBA registered inspectors who have years of experience in providing the best advice on pool or spa barrier/fence compliance. This service is ideal for those who are getting started with the process of building a pool or spa or those who are looking to renovate.

We will schedule a visit to your property and carry out an inspection of the area and an evaluation of your pool barrier materials. This visit will include our expert advice and a comprehensive list of everything that needs to be done to make your pool barrier compliant the first time!

Why Should I Get a Preliminary Pool Safety Barrier Consultation?

A Preliminary Pool Safety Barrier Consultation is a proactive and responsible step for pool and spa owners to prevent accidents and ensure compliance with safety regulations. Here are some reasons why you should consider getting a Preliminary Pool Safety Barrier Consultation:

  • Identify safety hazards: A professional pool safety inspector can provide recommendations for safety improvements and help you understand what safety barriers are necessary to meet compliance requirements. 

  • Avoid fines and penalties: Non-compliance can result in fines and penalties. We have found that some barriers are incorrectly installed for pools and spas and don’t comply with Australian pool standards even if installed by a registered builder, resulting in costly changes and charges for you. A Preliminary Pool Safety Barrier Consultation can help you avoid this. 

  • Peace of mind: Knowing that you’re compliant with safety regulations provides peace of mind for pool owners, especially those with young children or pets.

  • Save money: By identifying safety hazards and potential risks early on, you can save money in the long run by preventing accidents and costly repairs or remodelling.

Consultation Checklist 

Our VIC POOL INSPECTORS will inspect the following during your preliminary pool safety consultation:

1. Proper fencing: The first step in the preliminary pool barrier inspection process is to ensure the pool is properly fenced. The fence should be a minimum of 1.2 metres high and be of a material that cannot be easily climbed. There should also be a self-closing and self-latching gate that leads directly to the pool area.

2. Check fence & gate condition: The second step is to check the condition of the fence and gate. The fence and gate should be in good condition, with no gaps or holes greater than 10cm that could allow a child to enter the pool area. 

3. Remove climbing hazards: The third step is to check for any objects that could be used to climb over the fence. This includes trees, bushes, chairs, or anything else that could be used to access the pool area. If any of these objects are present, they should be removed from the premises.

4. Identify and remove any other potential hazards: The fourth and final step is to check for any other potential hazards that could pose a risk to children. This includes checking for loose tiles around the pool, exposed electrical outlets, and any other potential dangers. Once all potential hazards have been identified and remedied, the pool area can then be considered safe for use by children.
