Application for Registration of Swimming Pool or Spa

The Victorian Government has introduced new legislation for all residential pools and spas aimed at improving safety and saving lives. Under the legislation, owners must register their pool or spa with Wyndham City Council:

  • by 1 June 2020, or 
  • when a certificate of final inspection or occupancy permit has been issued for a new pool or spa.

Once the pool or spa is registered, a building inspector must determine whether its barrier complies with safety requirements. If the pool or spa barrier is not compliant, owners must fix it or install a new barrier. 
When a building inspector is satisfied the pool or spa barrier is compliant, they will issue a Certificate of Barrier Compliance, which owners must lodge with Council.
Pool and spa owners are required to obtain and lodge Certificates of Barrier Compliance every four years.

An inspection of your pool or spa barrier can only be carried out by:

  • a registered building surveyor
  • a registered building inspector
  • a municipal building surveyor

Wyndham City Council have registered inspectors that can be appointed to inspect a pool/spa, or a private inspector can be appointed. If you are wanting to use a Council inspector, a Pool Inspection Appointment Form is required to be submitted – see appointment form below. 

Alternatively, you can search for a registered building practitioner authorised to carry out  inspections and certification using the Find a practitioner tool.
