Pool safety certificate Gold Coast, ready for your sale or lease.

Form 23 is the pool safety certificate itself. A QBCC licensed pool safety inspector issues it once your pool meets the Queensland standard. It's lodged with the QBCC and linked to your property address. It's valid for 2 years on a non-shared pool and 1 year on a shared pool.

You need a current certificate to sell or lease a Queensland property with a pool or spa. The rules apply to anything holding 300mm of water or more, including portable pools. If a current certificate is already linked to the property, you can use it. If not, book an inspection.

2 years for a non-shared pool, such as a house or townhouse. 1 year for a shared pool, such as an apartment complex, hotel, resort or caravan park. While it's current, you can sell or lease without a new one. The owner keeps the barrier compliant the whole time.
