Pool & spa barrier inspections in Ashburton
Ashburton is an established residential suburb around the High Street shops and Ashburton station, with Californian bungalows and newer rebuilds on comfortable blocks near Gardiners Creek — plenty of backyard pools.
Renovated and rebuilt homes here often have newer glass or aluminium pool fencing, where gate hardware and self-closing hinges are the usual things we check before certifying.
We check the barrier, fence and gates against the Victorian standard and issue your Form 23 Certificate of Barrier Compliance — the pool compliance certificate you lodge with council. Flat-rate inspections from $170 ex GST.
What we check in Ashburton
Our VBA-registered inspectors assess your pool or spa barrier against the applicable Victorian safety standard. The key checks include:
- Self-closing, self-latching gate that never props open
- No gap anywhere lets a 100mm sphere through
- A clear 900mm non-climbable zone outside the barrier
- Barrier at least 1200mm high from the outside ground
- A current, legible CPR / resuscitation sign displayed
- Whole barrier in good repair — no loose panels or failing latches

Form 23 for Ashburton residents — lodged with Boroondara
Ashburton is in the City of Boroondara — that is where you register the pool or spa and lodge your Form 23 Certificate of Barrier Compliance.
The process in Ashburton follows the statewide Victorian rules: any pool or spa that can hold more than 300mm of water must be registered with the City of Boroondara. A VBA-registered inspector then assesses the barrier and, once it complies, issues your Form 23 Certificate of Barrier Compliance, which is lodged with the Boroondara council — generally within 30 days of issue. Barriers must be re-certified every four years, and a fresh inspection is also triggered when you sell or lease.
If the barrier does not yet comply, we give you a clear list of what to fix and re-check the work, so you get your certificate with as little back-and-forth with Boroondara as possible.
