Selling or purchasing a property with a pool
Recent changes in the Conveyancing (Sale of Land) Regulation 2010 require a warning notion within the contract of sale that the owner of a property on which a swimming pool is situated must ensure that the pool complies with the requirements of the Swimming Pools Act 1992.
A Certificate of Compliance under s 24 of the Swimming Pools Act 1992 is the only available document that an Owner can rely on to ensure that their pool complies.
Purchasers and persons acting on their behalf are strongly advised to view a Pool Safety Barrier Certificate of Compliance prior to purchasing any property on which any type of pool is situated.
Pool Certificate of Compliance
If purchasing a property with a pool, or you just want peace of mind, apply for a Pool Certificate of Compliance from the council.
For a fee of $70, an Environmental & Building Compliance, Pool Safety Officer will inspect the pool and provide you with a compliance report.
To arrange an inspection, complete an application form or call the Customer Service Centre on 02 9710 0333.
