All pre-2013 ACT pools must be certified before

1 May 2028

If your pool was built before 1 May 2013, ACT law requires a compliance status certificate lodged with Access Canberra by this date. And from May 2024, every ACT pool owner must maintain a compliant barrier — regardless of pool age. Selling or leasing? Those obligations apply right now.

Services & pricing

Three services, clearly explained

Required by law — pre-2013 pools

Compliance Status Certificate

$395

The formal certificate required under ACT law, with lodgement guidance for Access Canberra. If your barrier doesn't pass, you get a clear defect report and simply rectify and reinspect.

Selling or leasing

Disclosure Statement

$350

Required when selling or leasing an ACT property with a pool. Formatted for conveyancers, with priority turnaround for settlement deadlines.

After rectification

Reinspection

$149

Fixed the defects from your inspection report? We return, reinspect the barrier and complete your certification — no need to start from scratch.

Spas and swim spas over 300mm depth carry the same requirements.

Common questions

What ACT pool owners ask

?
What if my pool fails? — Very common, and not a penalty. You get a written defect report, fix the issues, and book a reinspection. We explain everything in plain English.
?
What usually causes failure? — Climbable objects near the fence, gate latches and springs, gaps over 100mm, vegetation, and barrier height issues. Most are simple fixes.
?
Do boundary fences count? — Sometimes, if they meet height requirements (typically 1800mm on the non-pool side). We assess this on-site.
?
How long does a certificate last? — No fixed expiry, but changes to the barrier or pool area (renovations, landscaping, vegetation growth) can invalidate it.
?
Why act now instead of 2027? — Many pools need rectification work first. Waiting means competing for trades and inspectors in the pre-deadline rush.

Don't leave compliance until 2028.
