For sellers… we recommend a pre-sale Pool Safety Certificate, which you can obtain before you even list and is valid for up to two years. If there is no pool safety certificate obtained, before entering a sale contract or settlement it is the seller’s responsibility to provide an advisory notice to:

  • The potential buyer
  • Department of Housing and Public Works
  • Pool Owner, such as the body corporate for shared pools

For buyers… if you accept a Notice of No Pool Safety Certificate on purchasing a new property you have until 90 days post settlement to make the pool fence compliant and are liable for any costs required to certify your pool (unless otherwise negotiated under your individual contract).

For landlords… you must obtain a pool safety certificate before a lease is signed. This applies for body corporate as well. The existing safety certificate will cover any new leases or renewals within the validity period.
