Pool Failed Its Inspection in
Coimadai?
If your Coimadai pool or spa barrier didn't pass first time — on a lifestyle block with a long fence line to check — the fix is usually more contained than it sounds, and the follow-up visit from Ryan Gaw, VBA-registered Pool Safety Inspector (IN-PS 100055), is free. Sort the items on your Non-Conformance Report and call 0402 860 499 to book the re-inspection; where the barrier now passes, the Form 23 gets signed and issued that same day — you take it from there and lodge it with the shire within 30 days.

In Short: A failed first inspection in Coimadai usually comes down to one section of a long boundary run, or a single gate somewhere along an extended perimeter — the sheer scale of these acreage blocks means more barrier to check, but the actual fix is usually still small and localised. Fix what's listed, call to book the follow-up, and the re-inspection is free. Pass, and your Form 23 is signed and issued the same day — you then lodge it with Moorabool Shire within 30 days.

What Happens After a Pool Fails Inspection in Coimadai?
A failed first inspection isn't a penalty and it doesn't sit on any public record — it's a to-do list. On Coimadai's 5+ acre lifestyle blocks, that list is usually shorter than the scale of the property suggests, because most failures are localised to one section rather than the whole perimeter. What happens next is the same:
- You receive a Non-Conformance Report naming each item that failed and the clause it breached
- You arrange the repairs — usually a specific fence section or gate, not the entire boundary
- You call 0402 860 499 and we book the free re-inspection
- Where everything on the list now passes, the Form 23 is signed the same day — you then lodge it with Moorabool Shire yourself
Coimadai properties can take a little longer to clear a Non-Conformance Report simply due to logistics — a fencing contractor scheduling a visit to a rural block, rather than the repair itself being complex. If you already have a Non-Conformance Report from us, always come back for the free re-inspection rather than booking a fresh full inspection. Planning fencing work first? A compliance consultation is the better starting point.
Local knowledge
Why Coimadai Barriers Fail First Time
Coimadai's rural-residential acreage lots — 5+ acre lifestyle blocks and hobby farms — produce a failure pattern shaped almost entirely by scale:
- Boundary-fence sections not meeting height or non-climbable-zone requirements — with genuinely long fence lines involved, it's common for one section, often the part furthest from the house, to have drifted out of compliance without being noticed day to day.
- Gate not self-closing or self-latching from any position — on properties with multiple access points, a secondary gate used less often is the most likely place for a self-latching failure to hide.
Both are usually straightforward once located — the challenge on a large block is simply finding the specific section, not fixing it. Neighbouring Ballan sees a similar rural pattern at a smaller scale; in-town Bacchus Marsh sees almost none of it.
Deadlines
How Long Do I Have to Fix a Failed Coimadai Inspection?
A Non-Conformance Report doesn't come with its own expiry date. On a Coimadai lifestyle block, though, two practical timing factors are worth keeping in mind:
- Settlement pending: the law requires a Form 23 inside a 90-day window before settlement — get moving early if a boundary section needs a fencing crew.
- Rural scheduling: a fencing contractor working a longer boundary run typically needs more lead time than a quick suburban gate fix, so build that into your timeline.
Outside a sale scenario, there's no financial downside to taking things at a reasonable pace.
Moorabool Shire
Who Lodges the Form 23 After a Coimadai Re-Inspection?
Moorabool Shire stays completely out of it while your barrier is still failing — council only sees anything once the barrier is genuinely compliant. As soon as the re-inspection confirms your full list of items is resolved, we sign and issue the Form 23 at the property — you then lodge it with the shire yourself, inside the required 30-day window.

FAQ
Coimadai Re-Inspection FAQs
How soon after repairs can you come back for the re-inspection in Coimadai?
Usually within a week. We cover Coimadai on our regular Moorabool rural run, so once the items on your Non-Conformance Report are fixed a call gets you fitted into the next slot — no separate travel fee for the acreage properties out this way.
Does a Coimadai re-inspection cost anything?
No. It's included in your original $250 Coimadai inspection fee, no matter how large the block. You'd only pay again for a genuinely new inspection later.
What does the re-inspector actually recheck on a Coimadai acreage property?
Only what's named on your Non-Conformance Report. On Coimadai's long-sightline blocks that's most often a specific section of a long boundary run, or one gate along an extended perimeter — we recheck exactly those items, not the whole fence line from scratch.
My Coimadai property has multiple gates along the pool barrier — do they all need to comply?
Yes. Every gate that forms part of the pool barrier has to self-close and self-latch, whether it's the main gate near the house or a secondary access point at the far end of a long fence run. A Non-Conformance Report will name each one separately if more than one needs attention.
Does Moorabool Shire find out I failed?
No. A failed first inspection is between you and the inspector. Nothing is lodged with Moorabool Shire until a Form 23 is actually issued — council only sees the certificate once your barrier passes.
Is there a deadline to fix things before I have to pay again in Coimadai?
No hard cut-off is built into the $250 fee, but if you're selling, your Form 23 has to land inside a 90-day window before settlement. On acreage blocks, allow extra lead time for fencing contractors — long perimeter work takes longer to schedule than a suburban repair.
