Our Services
Every Inspection. Done Right.
We provide licensed pool safety inspections across Brisbane and surrounds — from pre-sale certificates to pre-purchase due diligence. Here's exactly what we offer and what we check.
Residential Pool Safety Inspection
Sell with confidence. No surprises at settlement.
In Queensland, a valid pool safety certificate is required before a property with a pool can be sold. If you're listing your home, you need to either provide a current certificate or disclose that one doesn't exist — and buyers can request one within 90 days of settlement. Getting ahead of it now avoids delays and gives you negotiating confidence.

Shared Pool Safety Certificate Inspection
Know what you're buying before you sign.
Buying a property with a pool? Don't assume the existing certificate is current or that the pool is compliant. Certificates expire, and pools can fall out of compliance after landscaping, renovations, or general wear. A pre-purchase inspection gives you an independent, expert assessment before you're legally committed.

The Standards
Queensland Pool Safety Standards
Every inspection is conducted against the Queensland Development Code MP 3.4 and Australian Standard AS 1926.1. Here's what the law requires — and what we check.
Barrier Height
Pool barriers must be at least 1200mm high, measured from the finished ground level on the outside of the barrier.
Non-Climbable Zone (NCZ)
A 900mm non-climbable zone must be maintained on the outside of the barrier. No objects — furniture, plants, or structures — can be within this zone.
Self-Closing & Self-Latching Gates
All gates must be self-closing and self-latching from any position. The latch must be on the pool side of the gate and at least 1500mm from the ground.
Resuscitation Sign
A current CPR resuscitation sign must be displayed in a prominent position near the pool, visible from the water.
Fence Openings
Gaps in the barrier must not allow a 100mm sphere to pass through. Vertical bars must be spaced no more than 100mm apart.
Boundary Fences
Where a boundary fence forms part of the pool barrier, it must meet the same height and NCZ requirements as a dedicated pool fence.
Pool Safety Recommendations and Advice Only
Where a pool does not meet the required standard, our role is to identify and document the non-conformities.
Following an inspection, we provide a written report detailing any items that do not comply with the Queensland Development Code MP 3.4 or Australian Standard AS 1926.1. This report includes clear descriptions of each non-conformity and practical guidance on what rectification is required.
It is the responsibility of the pool owner or their nominated contractor to arrange and complete any rectification works. Minor rectification works — including CPR sign replacement — can be carried out on the day for an additional $50.00.
Once rectification works have been completed, we are happy to carry out a reinspection to confirm compliance and issue a Form 23 Pool Safety Certificate if the pool meets the required standard.
