Pool Barrier Compliance & Form 23
Wyndham City Council

Registration and Form 23 lodgement both run through the same T1Cloud (CiAnywhere) online system, just via different application wizards. Wyndham's own paperwork refers to the compliance certificate as the CPSBC — Certificate of Pool and Spa Barrier Compliance — rather than "Form 23," though it's the identical document under the Building Regulations 2018. The Form 23/CPSBC lodgement wizard is where you lodge the certificate once your barrier passes.

Once your barrier is compliant, I issue the CPSBC the same day, included in the $250 inspection fee. You then work through that lodgement wizard yourself — it takes a few minutes — within the 30-day statutory window. Wyndham's published fee schedule, as at June 2026 — check Wyndham's current schedule for any change: Wyndham's pools and spas overview page covers registration, inspection and lodgement together if you want the full picture before starting the wizard.

• Registration: a Wyndham-set fee that varies by completion date (before/after November 2020) — confirm the current tiers on Wyndham's fee schedule
• Reinspection fee: Wyndham City Council's own charge if a non-compliance is issued — confirm the current amount with council; our re-inspections are always free
• Form 23/CPSBC lodgement: set right at the statewide statutory maximum, within rounding — confirm the current published figure with Wyndham
• Form 24/Non-Compliance lodgement: the statutory maximum set under the Building Regulations 2018

Worth flagging plainly: Wyndham sets its own registration and lodgement fees under its Local Government Act cost-recovery powers — some sit above the Building Regulations 2018 statutory registration-fee maximum, so budget for the published council figure and confirm the current amounts directly with Wyndham City Council rather than assuming the statewide maximum applies here.

Same first step as anywhere else: a Non-Conformance Report naming exactly what to fix, then a free re-inspection once it's sorted, at no extra call-out cost to you — our re-inspections are always free. Where Wyndham differs is what happens if a barrier stays non-compliant beyond that. Rather than a single statutory fine, Wyndham's published model is a repeating cost: a non-compliance lodgement fee and a reinspection fee — both Wyndham City Council's own charges, not ours, and worth confirming on the current published schedule — apply again on each re-inspection cycle until a compliant certificate can finally be issued. The underlying statutory penalty for late or non-lodgement of a Form 23 — 10 penalty units under reg 147V(1) — still applies as the legal backstop; Wyndham's fee schedule describes the practical cost consequence rather than replacing that statutory penalty.

The practical upshot for a Wyndham owner: the cost of letting a non-compliance drag out compounds every cycle, which is a strong incentive to get remediation done and the free re-inspection booked as soon as the Non-Conformance Report lands — not to wait it out.

If you're in Truganina: your property genuinely may sit under Wyndham or under Melton council — Truganina straddles that boundary. Check your rates notice or registration correspondence to confirm which council applies to your specific address before registering or lodging, since the portal, fee schedule and process differ between the two.

If your barrier has already failed once, the re-inspections service covers the free follow-up visit once the Non-Conformance Report items are fixed — no second call-out fee anywhere across Wyndham.

If you'd rather get ahead of a first inspection — a brand-new estate registration, or just confirming your barrier will pass before you book — the compliance consultation service checks your fence against the 1200mm and non-climbable-zone rules before the formal inspection, detailed further in the non-climbable zone guide.

For what the certificate itself covers and how long it lasts, see the Form 23 certificate page. And if you're selling a Wyndham property with a pool, the pool inspection for property sale service walks through the Section 32 timeline you'll need to hit before settlement.

Ready to book, or want to check where your registration currently sits with council? Get in touch or call 0402 860 499 — same-day and next-day slots are usually available anywhere across the Wyndham growth corridor. Every suburb we cover also has its own dedicated re-inspections and compliance consultation page — find yours in the grid below.

A Wyndham City Council letter about your pool or spa barrier records the construction or installation date council holds for your property, the registered barrier standard, and the due date for lodging the CPSBC — Wyndham's name for the certificate of pool and spa barrier compliance (Form 23). The inspection follows that registered date, not a guess drawn from the look of the fence.

Bring it with you on the day — I check it before starting, since the registered standard it records is what your barrier gets tested against, which settles any later question about which version applied. You can also confirm your own registration through Wyndham's pool and spa registration page, with the certificate process itself set out in the Building Regulations 2018.

Wyndham is the only council in our area that runs its Form 23 lodgement through an online pre-lodgement wizard rather than a paper or emailed form. New registrations go through the T1Cloud registration wizard, and once your barrier passes, the certificate — Wyndham's paperwork calls it the CPSBC, the certificate of pool and spa barrier compliance, though it's the same document as a Form 23 — is lodged through the separate CPSBC lodgement wizard.

Before you start either wizard, have your property details and registration reference on hand. On the compliance side, you need the certificate first — I issue it the same day your barrier passes inspection, so book the inspection before you try to work through the lodgement wizard, not the other way around.
