NSW FAQs

I thought only council could do pool inspections and issue pool safety certificates?

Nope!

Private Certified Pool Safety Inspectors can do pool, spa and barrier inspections and issue pool safety certificates too. Even if you are directed by the Local Authority - aka Council - to get a Pool Certificate of Compliance, private certifiers - like us here at Pool Safety Solutions - can still help you. 

What is the difference between council and private Certified Pool Safety Inspectors?

NSW Councils and Certified Pool Safety Inspectors are bound by Fair Trading NSW Government to lodge the inspection and details through the NSW Swimming Pool Register. Council and certified inspectors essentially offer the same service, but at different levels:

Council Certified Pool Safety Inspectors
is cheaper, but takes longer may charge more, but as a private business, are driven to provide excellent service and a more efficient outcome (or they won't be in business for very long)
is under no obligation to provide any service, help you or relieve any stress or intimidation you may feel are obligated to help you with excellent service, direction and advice where referrals, reviews and testimonials are bloodlines to small business success
  wade through the bureaucracy on your behalf for the most efficient and cost effective outcome
  assists you with all aspects of your inspection and takes care of all the details for you
is not necessarily easy to contact or will contact you at their leisure and not at your convenience are only a phone call, email or message away for your questions
can supply handwritten reports with little detail use the top-of-the-line digital systems for a detailed report including photos and videos with descriptions and explanations on rectifications
is in the role of finding problems and can not offer help  you understand the law, as that is not part of their role driven to arm you with information and details to help you undertand compliance
is renown for being booked 3 - 6 weeks in advance offer Same Day Certificates and can reach you within the week - or sooner
is notorious for finding problems outside of the pool and spa areas and barriers specialist focus on Pool Safety only
is wandering into unchartered waters by interpreting the laws through "Best Practice" have a thorough interpretation and explanation of state government pool safety following approved Training Courses taking a certifier through their paces in NSW rules, regulations, acts and standards
  offer all the expertise and abilities to translate these often confusing intricate details into everyday speak to the customer
is council, and council means red tape are not council

 

What's this 6-Week thing with council?

Under Section 22E of the Swimming Pool Act, if your pool, spa or barriers are not compliant, council must be notified 6 weeks after the first inspection. 

Does this mean I need to stress?

No need for stress at all. Your certificate of non-compliance is valid for 12 months. Council simply want to be reassured the risk of your non-compliant pool, spa and barriers are being managed, and who is managing the risk of your non-compliant pool, spa and barriers through the sale of the property - be it the seller or purchaser.

Why do we have to let council know?

Under Section 22E of the Swimming Pool Act, it’s the law. Council wants to be reassured the property isn’t being left non-compliant and posing a risk to public safety.

Can we keep it a secret? Do you really have to tell them?

Yes. It's the law.

What happens if I receive a letter from council?

If you receive a direction in the mail from Council, Council notes you can use any inspector or certifier - not just council. Here's what you can do:

  1. Contact your local Pool Safety Inspector to book in an inspection within the next 48 business hours – or even a same day inspection if you’re lucky.
  2. Read through the NSW Compliance Checklist to prepare for any potential areas of non-compliance. Or make it easy for yourself with our DIY Pool Safety Evaluation: the Ultimate PoolSS Safety Checklist.

    TIPS: Look out for gates that are not self-closing, trees and vegetation in climbable zones, fences not the correct height, gaps in between and under fences and lack of CPR signs.

    The Pool Safety Solutions Free Online Resource has handy reading material for
    NCZ Non-Climbable Zone

    Ultimate Guide To NSW Pool Fences & Barriers
    Pool Gate Latch Safety, and
    CPR Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Signage

     

  3. Pool Inspection takes place
  4. Inspection results are lodged through the NSW Pool Register, taking care of all the council details for you
  5. Providing everything is compliant, certificate is issued – perhaps even on the same-day if you’re lucky
  6. If you are not compliant, your Pool Safety Inspector emails you a detailed report including photos with descriptions and explanations on rectifications.

 

Can we still continue to use a pool inspector if we receive a letter from council?

Absolutely.

If you receive a direction in the mail from Council, Council notes you can use any certified inspector.

What happens if council contacts me?

If you are still working on rectifications, you can respond to council informing them rectification works are underway but taking a little longer than expected. Then once completed, your private Certified Pool Inspector will return to issue a certificate of compliance.

If my pool, spa and barriers are not compliant, how long do I have until council contacts me?

Your certificate of non-compliance is valid for 12 months from your first inspection date.

Under Section 22E of the Swimming Pool Act, if your pool, spa or barriers are not compliant, council must be notified 6 weeks after the first inspection. The reason for this is council simply want to be reassured the risk of your non-compliant pool, spa and barriers are being managed, and who is managing the risk of your non-compliant pool, spa and barriers.
