Pool & Spa Safety Inspection
The full barrier check against the VBA standard — same-day Form 23 where your Kurunjang pool or spa is compliant.
If your Kurunjang pool or spa barrier didn't pass first time, the fix is usually smaller than it sounds — most often a garden feature that's crept into the clear zone, or gate hardware that's simply aged. The follow-up visit from Ryan Gaw, VBA-registered Pool Safety Inspector (IN-PS 100055), is free. Sort what's on your Non-Conformance Report and call 0402 860 499; pass, and your Form 23 is signed and issued the same day — lodging it with Melton City Council within 30 days is then yours to do.
A failed first inspection isn't a penalty and it doesn't sit on any public record — it's a to-do list. Kurunjang's mature-garden housing stock produces a fairly consistent version of it:
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 garden or fencing work first? A compliance consultation is the better starting point.
Kurunjang's 80s-90s family stock, with decades of established gardens around most pools, produces a distinctive failure pattern:
Both are usually quick fixes once identified. Neighbouring Melton West sees more of the pure hardware-age version; Brookfield further out has a newer mix with less vegetation encroachment.
A failed inspection here doesn't come with a built-in deadline of its own. The one that counts is a sale: a buyer's conveyancer will usually want a current Form 23 before settlement, so if a mature-garden encroachment held up your first attempt and you're selling soon, don't leave the trim until the last minute. Outside of a sale, there's no cost penalty for taking your time.
Melton City Council sees no paperwork from a failed first inspection — only a pass generates the certificate. Once the re-inspection confirms the mature-garden clearance issue is sorted, I sign and issue the Form 23 the same day; from there, lodging it with council inside the statutory 30-day window is your responsibility as the owner.
Mention at booking if the certificate is for a property sale, since a pending settlement changes how quickly we need to move. Full registration and lodgement detail is on the Form 23 certificate guide and the Melton City Council compliance guide.
