Help keep kids safe around residential pools and spas across our shire.

If you have a residential spa or pool, or are thinking about getting one, there are some things to know.

All pools and spas more than 30cm deep – including relocatable and inflatable – that are in place for more than 72 hours must be registered with Council and have protective barriers and gates that meet safety requirements.

To help prevent drownings, Victorian Government legislation requires all owners to register their pool or spa with Council, to have the safety barriers inspected by a registered pool inspector every four years, and to lodge the compliance certificate with Council.
