Do I Need a Permit or Inspection for My Pool or Spa?
In Victoria, any pool or spa over 300 mm deep requires:
- A building permit for the pool/spa and its safety barrier before construction or installation begins.
- A safety barrier inspection every four years to keep your Certificate of Barrier Compliance (Form 23) current.
Surveyoria handles the entire process—from permit paperwork to the onsite inspection—so you stay compliant and can focus on enjoying your pool or spa.
