Pool owners and councils have a shared legal responsibility to help protect the safety of children around properties with swimming pools or spa pools. One way we uphold our commitment to safety is through our Swimming Pool Safety Inspection Program. Inspections are undertaken in order to issue a Certificate of Compliance, which indicates that the pool barrier complies with legislation. We fee is charged for this inspection. The maximum fee councils can charge to facilities their pool inspection program for an inspection is prescribed by law, even when multiple inspections are required. Inspections as part of The Swimming Pool Safety Inspection Program are undertaken on a risk basis, with older areas with a high number of pools, multiple-occupancy dwellings, and tourist/visitor accommodation considered at higher risk.
