Pool & spa barrier inspections in Kew
Kew is a prestige inner-eastern suburb of grand period homes on large blocks, wrapped by the Yarra bends and Studley Park — big gardens where in-ground pools are common.
Established properties like these often have older barriers, so it is worth a compliance check before you sell or lease.
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 Kew
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 Kew residents — lodged with Boroondara
Kew is in the City of Boroondara — register the pool or spa and lodge your Form 23 with Boroondara.
The process in Kew 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.
