Same safety rules, different council
Because Victoria sets one state-wide barrier standard, your pool does not become “more” or “less” compliant depending on the council — the same inspection applies everywhere. What the council controls is the register your pool sits on and the fee to lodge your Form 23. We confirm the correct council for your address, inspect the barrier, and issue the certificate so it is valid to lodge wherever you are.
Frequently asked questions
Which council do I lodge my pool compliance certificate with?
You lodge with the local council your property sits in. Across our service area that is Manningham, Boroondara, Monash, Whitehorse, Maroondah, Nillumbik or Banyule. We confirm the correct council for your exact address before we attend.
Do different councils have different pool barrier rules?
No. The barrier safety standard is set state-wide in Victoria, so the rules are the same in every council. What changes between councils is the registration and lodgement fee, and how you lodge the Form 23.
Do you cover my council area?
We are based in Doncaster and cover Melbourne's eastern and north-eastern councils. Find your council above and jump to your suburb page, or call 0423 090 211 to check your address.
How much is the council fee?
Each council sets its own pool registration and lodgement fee, which is separate from our inspection fee. We give you our fixed inspection price upfront; the council fee is paid to your council.
