Pool Fence Laws & Compliance in Victoria
Since December 2019, new Victorian laws require stricter safety measures for swimming pools and spas. Here’s what you need to know:
-
Registration – All pools and spas that can hold more than 300mm (30cm) of water must be registered with your local council.
-
This includes permanent pools, above-ground pools, indoor pools, hot tubs, spas, wading pools, and some relocatable pools.
-
-
Safety Barriers – Every registered pool or spa must have a compliant safety fence or barrier installed.
-
Compliance Certificates – A registered pool safety inspector must carry out an inspection and issue a certificate of pool barrier compliance. You’ll then lodge this certificate with your local council.
-
Rectification – If your fence fails inspection, you’ll have 60 days to bring it up to standard.
-
Ongoing Obligations – Compliance isn’t just one-off – pool fences must be maintained to standard at all times.
Oke Pool Fencing stays up to date with Victorian safety standards and guarantees full compliance with every project.
