regulations state that every swimming pool or spa must have a compliant safety barrier if it is capable of containing a depth of water more than 30cm (300mm). This is required to restrict access to the pool area by young children under the age of 5yrs and prevent accidental drownings.<\/p><p>As a property owner you have a legal obligation in making sure the barrier is in good working order, maintained and repaired if necessary. This applies to in ground and above ground pools\/spas whether they are indoors or outdoors, including relocatable pools\/spas if they are capable of holding more than 30cm of water.<\/p><p>There are different regulations you must abide by dependant on the year your pool\/spa was built. The VBA have provided checklists for you to access so you can conduct your own self-assessment of your barrier. These checklists are a guide in understanding what is required and are recommended as they can help you prepare for your barrier inspection. Your pool\/spa must be inspected by a qualified Barrier Safety Inspector who can give you a Certificate of Compliance to lodge to your council once your barrier is deemed safe and compliant. This is required to be fulfilled every four years.\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit;\">To download the VBA checklists, click on the appropriate link
