Pool Inspections in Curlewis
Curlewis sits between Drysdale and Ocean Grove on the northern Bellarine, with the Curlewis Golf Club and the Curlewis Sands estate as its anchors. The suburb has changed dramatically since 2015 with major estate development — and that means a wave of pool stock now hitting its first 4-year compliance cycle.

What Curlewis Pool Owners Need to Know
We service Curlewis weekly from our Clifton Springs office — typically same-week availability, often within 48 hours.
Council: Curlewis is fully within City of Greater Geelong. Same lodgement portal as Drysdale and Ocean Grove.
Estate-era pool stock. The Curlewis Sands, Curlewis Beach and Bellarine Coastal estate developments have produced hundreds of new pool installs since 2017. Most of these were built to current AS1926.1 standards at install time, so the fences and barriers themselves typically pass. The first failure points we see are gate hardware — UV-degraded plastic latch components, sun-bleached spring tension springs — and footing movement on properties with deep cut-and-fill landscaping.
Curlewis Golf Club and the older village core. The pre-estate Curlewis village (around Curlewis Recreation Reserve and the older Bellarine Highway frontage) has older pool stock — mostly 1990s installs that may need barrier component replacement. Different inspection profile to the new estates.

FAQ
Curlewis Pool Inspection Questions
My pool was installed in the new Curlewis Sands estate in 2018 — is it due now?
Yes if it was certified at handover (most are). The 4-year cycle starts from the last Form 23 issue date. If your handover was 2020-2021, you're in the window now.
What's the most common compliance issue you see in Curlewis estates?
Gate latch and spring degradation. The fence panels and posts are usually fine — but plastic and rubber components on the gate hardware degrade in 4-6 years of UV exposure. Easy 1-hour fix once flagged.
Do I need to register my new estate pool with council?
Yes — pool registration with City of Greater Geelong is separate from the Form 23. Your pool builder usually does the initial registration at install; you don't need to re-register at each Form 23 cycle.
Can I get a same-week inspection during summer?
Usually yes. Curlewis is on our weekly rotation. December and Easter peaks may push it to 7-10 days; rest of year is 2-5 days.
