What Drysdale Pool Owners Need to Know
Drysdale is the commercial hub of the Bellarine Peninsula, and one of our most-visited suburbs. From the Clifton Springs office we're inspecting in Drysdale weekly — and most weeks two or three times.
Council: Drysdale falls under the City of Greater Geelong. Form 23 lodgement is via the CoGG MyCouncil portal — typical processing 5-10 business days, but you can settle a property the same day the certificate is issued.
Drysdale's pool stock skews older. Many central Drysdale pools were installed in the 1980s and 1990s. Those original installations frequently used gate hardware that pre-dates the 2010 tightening of AS1926.1. The most common failure point we see in Drysdale is gate latch height and self-closing mechanism on pre-2010 fences. The fence itself is usually fine; the gate often isn't.
Drysdale-Clifton Springs estate growth. The post-2015 housing boom around the Jetty Road precinct, Curlewis Estate and the SpringDale Reserve has put a lot of new pools into the 4-year compliance cycle for the first or second time. If your pool was built between 2018 and 2020, you're due now.

FAQ
Drysdale Pool Inspection Questions
How quickly can you inspect a pool in Drysdale?
Most weeks we're in Drysdale two to three times. Same-week is normally achievable; 24-48 hours is realistic for urgent property-sale jobs.
Does my pre-2010 Drysdale pool fence need to meet today's AS1926.1?
No — your barrier needs to meet the standard that applied when the pool was originally built. However, any subsequent modification (new gate, replaced panel, new latch) must meet AS1926.1 as it stands now.
I'm selling my Drysdale property — when should I book the inspection?
Before listing, ideally. Most Bellarine real estate agents want a current Form 23 visible at first inspection so the campaign is clean.
Can you do late-afternoon inspections in Drysdale?
We inspect until 5pm Mon–Sat, and can extend by appointment for vendor selling timelines.
