This is the document the legislation asks for. We inspect the pool or spa barrier against the prescribed safety standard — AS 1926.1–2012, applied under Part 5A of the Building Act 2004 — and issue a compliance certificate.
Where the barrier complies, the certificate is issued and lodged with the ACT Government within the 30 days the legislation allows. Where it doesn’t, you get a written notice setting out each item and a period to rectify. You fix them, we verify, the certificate follows.
Then this is the one you need, and the deadline is 1 May 2028 — — days away.
During the transition period — up to 30 April 2028 — an owner selling or leasing a property with a pool has to give the buyer or tenant the Minister’s guidance material along with one of a short list of documents. A disclosure statement is one of them.
It records the age of the pool and its status against the prescribed safety standard, including any non-compliances we identify, so a buyer or tenant knows what they are taking on. It satisfies the disclosure obligation without certifying the pool.
A disclosure statement is a transaction document, not a substitute for certification. If the pool was built before 1 May 2013, the compliance certificate is still required before 1 May 2028.
Fixed the items on your notice? We verify the work and complete the certification. Clear photographs of the completed work are often accepted instead of a return visit, which saves you a second appointment.
If you don’t know when your pool was built or which document you need, call. We would rather spend ten minutes working it out than send you an invoice for something you didn’t need.
Most rectification is small — a hinge, a latch, a rail, a gap under a gate, moving what sits against the fence. We can point you to local fencing contractors who understand what the standard actually requires.
Fixed price confirmed by return, and the first available date. If you have a settlement to hit, say so and we’ll work backwards from it.
