Cost calculator questions
How much does a pool safety inspection cost in the Sunshine Coast?
Most standard QLD Form 23 inspections run around $150 to $300. Shared and commercial pools cost a bit more, and a re-inspection is usually cheaper than the first visit.
What is a Form 23?
It's the pool safety certificate a licensed inspector issues once your pool barrier meets the Queensland pool safety standard (MP 3.4).
What happens if my pool doesn't pass?
You get a Form 26 nonconformity notice listing the issues. You generally have up to three months to fix minor items and get one re-inspection.
How long is the certificate valid?
Two years for a standard private (non-shared) pool, and one year for a shared pool such as a body corporate or unit complex.
Do I need a certificate to sell or rent?
Yes. In QLD you need a valid pool safety certificate when you sell or lease a property that has a pool or spa.
How long does the inspection take?
Usually 30 to 60 minutes for a standard backyard pool, depending on the barrier and how ready it is.
