Pool Certification in Campbelltown: What Homeowners and Landlords Need to Know

Campbelltown is one of the fastest-growing regions in South-West Sydney, with a high number of residential pools across suburbs like Glen Alpine, Ambarvale, Rosemeadow, and Raby. As more families enjoy backyard pools, the importance of maintaining compliant safety barriers has grown significantly.

Under NSW law, all pools and spas that can hold 300mm or more of water must have a compliant barrier and may require a Certificate of Compliance (Form 126) before being sold or leased.

Pool certification helps ensure that:

• Your fence, gate, and barrier are legally compliant
• Safety hazards (like climbable objects or faulty gates) are addressed
• Your property can be sold or rented without legal issues
• Children and visitors are protected from accidental injury or drowning

When Do You Need a Pool Inspection?

You’ll need a certified inspection in Campbelltown if you:

• Are selling or leasing your property and need a valid certificate
• Have received a council notice requesting proof of compliance
• Want to ensure safety and avoid potential legal liability
• Manage a rental or investment property and need to meet landlord obligations
• Have recently installed or modified a pool, spa, or barrier system

NSW regulations require a valid certificate to be included in the sale or lease contract, or you may need to issue a Form 24 (Notice of Non-Compliance) if your pool hasn’t passed inspection yet.

What Inspectors Check During a Pool Certification

When a licensed inspector visits your Campbelltown property, they will assess your pool area against the Swimming Pools Act 1992, the Swimming Pools Regulation 2018, and AS1926.1–2012. Key items include:

• Pool fence height and spacing
• Self-closing, self-latching gates that open away from the pool
• Non-climbable zones (NCZs) – no furniture, trees, or objects within 900mm of the barrier
• Boundary fences used as pool barriers
• CPR signage – must be clearly visible, weather-resistant, and follow ARC guidelines

FAQs – Pool Certification Campbelltown

Do I need a certificate if I’m not selling or renting my property?

Not necessarily, but you are still legally required to maintain a compliant pool barrier. Certification is strongly recommended for peace of mind and liability protection.

What’s the difference between Form 126 and Form 24?

Form 126 is a Certificate of Compliance, confirming your pool meets NSW safety standards. Form 24 is a Notice of Non-Compliance, issued if your pool fails inspection and outlines what needs to be corrected.

How long is a pool compliance certificate valid in NSW?

A valid Certificate of Compliance remains current for three years, unless the barrier is altered or fails during a spot-check or council audit.

Can I do the repairs myself if my pool fails inspection?

Yes. Many issues can be fixed DIY, like installing compliant CPR signage, trimming trees, or fixing gate latches. We’ll tell you exactly what’s needed in your report.

How much does a pool inspection cost in Campbelltown?

Pricing varies but generally starts at around $200–$250. At Pool Certification Help, we offer fixed, upfront pricing with no hidden charges.

Are inflatable pools included in the inspection requirement?

Yes. Any pool or spa capable of holding 300mm of water or more is considered regulated and must meet compliance standards, even temporary or above-ground pools.
