Pool Inspections in Ballan
Ballan sits west of Bacchus Marsh in the Moorabool Shire, a small town with surrounding rural and rural-residential properties. Pool inspections here have a different rhythm to suburban work — properties are larger, drives between jobs are longer, and the council jurisdiction (Moorabool Shire) operates differently to City of Greater Geelong.

What Ballan Pool Owners Need to Know
Ballan is serviced from our Maddingley office, typically Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Council: Ballan is in Moorabool Shire — different council to Bacchus Marsh's adjacent shires. Lodgement portal differs from CoGG; we'll handle the paperwork.
Rural and rural-residential pool stock. Ballan and surrounding Moorabool west have a higher proportion of lifestyle properties, hobby farms and rural-residential zoning than suburban areas. Pool barriers often follow paddock boundaries or landscape features. Compliance assessment here has to consider terrain — sloping ground, retained-cut walls, dam-adjacent water bodies.
Older rural pool installations. Many Ballan pools were installed in the 1990s-2000s when rural-residential lots were being subdivided. Original installations often didn't fully account for current AS1926.1 climbability rules, especially around adjacent farm structures (sheds, water tanks, machinery) that can become climbable features near the pool barrier.

FAQ
Ballan Pool Inspection Questions
Moorabool Shire's portal is different to Geelong — do I lodge it?
We can lodge it for you. Moorabool Shire accepts email submission of Form 23 with the property reference; we just need your council pool registration number.
My pool barrier is also a paddock fence — does that work?
Usually no. Paddock fencing typically uses spaced rails (100mm+ gaps) or thin-gauge mesh — neither meets AS1926.1 climbability rules. Pool barriers in rural settings usually need a dedicated section.
Pool inspection on a 5-acre property — is it the same price?
Yes, $250 flat. Larger sites just take more on-site time.
Travel cost from Maddingley to Ballan?
No travel surcharge. Flat $250 anywhere we service.
