From 29 April 2016, new laws commenced concerning owners of residential properties containing swimming pools who wish to sell or rent their property.
A copy of a valid certificate of compliance (or non-compliance) must be attached to the contract for sale or residential lease. It involves properties that contain a swimming pool or spa pool but does not apply to a strata lot or community scheme with more than two lots or for any off the plan contract.
If a certificate of non-compliance is attached to a contract for sale, the vendor is disclosing to any purchaser that the obligation to obtain a complying certificate is being transferred to the purchaser who must do so within 90 days from the date of settlement.
Local councils and accredited certifiers can inspect the pool and provide the relevant certificate.
