Pool & spa barrier inspections in Glen Iris

Glen Iris is a leafy, established suburb around Glen Iris station and the High Street and Malvern Road shops, with period homes on generous blocks where in-ground pools are common.

Gardiners Creek runs through the suburb and forms the council boundary, which matters for where your compliance certificate is lodged.

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 Glen Iris

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

See the full Victorian barrier checklist on our pool barrier & fence inspection page.

Form 23 for Glen Iris residents — lodged with Boroondara

Most of Glen Iris, north of Gardiners Creek, is in the City of Boroondara; the part south of the creek is in the City of Stonnington.

Because Gardiners Creek splits Glen Iris between Boroondara and Stonnington, we confirm which council your address falls in before we attend, so your Form 23 is lodged with the right one.

The process in Glen Iris 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.
