Most owners assume it's the fence. It's almost never the fence — it's what's changed around it since the last time anyone checked.
Nothing climbable within 900mm outside your fence, or 300mm inside it — a pot plant, a BBQ, even a stack of pool toys can fail an otherwise perfect barrier. And the ground itself moves: mulch, garden beds and soil build-up can quietly shrink your fence's real height below the 1200mm minimum, even though the fence hasn't moved an inch. A window added later, or a new deck near the fence line, can do the same thing without anyone realising it.
Your gate has to close and latch itself, from any position, with nobody touching it — and the latch has to sit high enough (1500mm outside, properly shielded if it's lower) that a toddler genuinely can't reach it. The usual failure isn't a broken latch. It's a brick holding the gate open on pool days, or a hinge that's sagged just enough that it settles half-shut instead of clicking closed.
A faded or missing CPR sign is an instant fail, and it's the easiest thing here to forget about. So is a door that opens straight from the house into the pool area — for an outdoor pool, that's simply not allowed, no matter how it's used. And a window near the pool needs a genuine 1800mm drop or a permanent screen locking it to 100mm — a lock on its own doesn't count, because locks get left unlocked.
None of this means your pool is unsafe. It means nobody's checked it against the current standard lately — which is exactly what we do, before the real inspector does.
The one piece of paper that says your pool barrier is legally safe. No certificate, no settlement. No certificate, no lease. It's issued by a licensed Pool Safety Inspector — not something anyone can self-declare.
Selling or leasing a property with a pool in Queensland? The law requires a current certificate before settlement or before a tenant moves in. Skip it and you're either delaying your own sale, or handing your buyer a 90-day compliance deadline instead of a clean handover.
Generally, before your sale settlement date or your lease start date. The earlier you know where you stand, the more time you have to fix anything — which is exactly what our inspection buys you. Book weeks out, not the week of.
2 years for a private pool. 1 year for a shared pool. After that it's not valid — sell or lease on an expired certificate and you're exposed exactly as if you had none at all.
We check your pool against these exact standards before your formal inspection — so when the licensed Pool Safety Inspector shows up, there are no surprises. Just a signature.
A non-compliant pool barrier can hold up a sale, a lease, or land you with a fine you didn't see coming. Our inspection tells you exactly where you stand against QLD pool safety standards, before it becomes an expensive surprise — and before your formal Pool Safety Certificate inspection.
