After registering your pool or spa, if building work is carried out on the barrier that requires a building permit, the relevant building surveyor must inspect the barrier and determine if it complies with the applicable barrier standard.

If the relevant building surveyor determines that the barrier complies with the applicable barrier standard, they will issue a certificate of barrier compliance and provide the certificate to you. You must then lodge the certificate with your council within 14 days.

If the barrier does not comply with the applicable barrier standard, the relevant building surveyor will require the work to be brought into compliance.
