Pool Inspections
Owning a pool is a wonderful lifestyle choice, but it also comes with important safety responsibilities. If your pool is deeper than 300mm, it must have a compliant fenced barrier around 100% of its perimeter. All entry gates must be self-closing and fitted with secure catches to prevent accidental openings - especially to protect small children.

New pool compliance inspections
Under Queensland law, pool inspection certification is mandatory for all pool barriers. This means your pool fence must be inspected and certified in accordance with the Australian Standard 1926 (Part 1 & 2) and the Queensland Development Code MP3.4. Whether you're selling a home or managing a shared pool, compliance is essential:
-
Private residential pools require a compliance certificate (Form 23) prior to sale.
-
Shared pools (e.g. in rental or strata properties) must be inspected and certified every 12 months.
​
We understand that these standards can be complex, especially given the variety of pool layouts and property types. That's where our expertise makes the difference.
​
