Pool & spa barrier inspections in Balwyn North
Balwyn North is an established, affluent suburb around Greythorn, with large family homes and a high rate of backyard pools and spas.
It borders Manningham to the north-east, but for pool compliance it sits firmly in Boroondara — a distinction worth getting right before you lodge.
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 Balwyn North
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 Balwyn North residents — lodged with Boroondara
Balwyn North is in the City of Boroondara — that is where the pool or spa is registered and the Form 23 Certificate of Barrier Compliance is lodged (not Manningham, despite the shared border).
The process in Balwyn North 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.
