Pool & spa barrier inspections in Eltham
Eltham is a leafy, bush-fringed suburb of mudbrick homes and large treed blocks along the Diamond Creek and Yarra — classic big-garden territory where pools are common.
Its bushland setting often means natural features and vegetation sit close to the barrier, which is worth checking against the non-climbable-zone rules.
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 Eltham
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 Eltham residents — lodged with Nillumbik
Eltham is in the Shire of Nillumbik — register the pool or spa and lodge your Form 23 Certificate of Barrier Compliance with Nillumbik.
The process in Eltham follows the statewide Victorian rules: any pool or spa that can hold more than 300mm of water must be registered with the Shire of Nillumbik. 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 Nillumbik 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 Nillumbik as possible.
