Hervey Bay Pool Safety Inspections
mypoolinspection is Hervey Bay’s premier pool fence inspection service. Our local pool fence safety inspectors are fully licensed and trained to carry out pool fence safety inspections in the entire Hervey Bay area. Our Hervey Bay pool fence inspectors also carry more than 10 times the amount of insurance cover than is actually required by the QueenslandGovernment, so you know you can have your pool fence inspected with complete confidence and piece of mind.
Our Hervey Bay pool fence inspections are done with the latest technology, which means that you get an accurate and informative report - Fast! If you fence complies with the Queensland Swimming Pool Safety Laws you will get your Pool Safety Certificate (Form 23) within 12 working hours, but normally on the same day as the pool fence inspection.
You may need to arrange a pool fence inspection if:
- You are a private home owner selling, buying or privately renting a house or unit in Hervey Bay
- You are a real estate agent involved in selling or renting residential properties in Hervey Bay
- You manage a body corporate or Hervey Bay community title property
- You operate or own an accommodation property like a resort, hotel, motel or caravan park in Hervey Bay
If you are selling a property in Hervey Bay, you need a Swimming Pool Safety Certificate before settlement. Some sellers try to take the easy option and pass responsibility to the buyer, but we have seen contracts crash because no Pool Safety Certificate existed.
If you are buying a residential or investment property in Hervey Bay, you may be asked to sign a "Form 36", which is a document that passes responsibility onto you for the swimming pool fence. Don't sign it without first talking to your solicitor or conveyancer, otherwise it could cost you thousands. If you do sign a Form 36, you need to get a Pool Safety Certificate within 90 days of settlement, which will include incurring fence upgrade costs if they are necessary.
If you are a landlord in Hervey Bay, your Real Estate Agent should handle Pool Compliance issues for you. Most Hervey Bay real estate agents and rental property managers arrange Swimming Pool Safety Inspections in plenty of time before leases are due. Even though leased rental houses are currently the subject of a moratorium which expires on July 8 2011, landlords are still liable for pool immersion injuries to children.

We will tell you exactly what you need for you to get your Pool Safety Certificate and we are here to help stop Queensland kids from drowning in backyard pools.
