Fibreglass Pool Removal in Geelong

Whatever the shell is made of, the pool stays on the City of Greater Geelong's register until the council is satisfied it no longer exists or can no longer hold water deeper than 30 cm, and the Commission says a pool capable of containing that depth must have a compliant safety barrier. The main page sets out both.

What to ask the provider

The Building and Plumbing Commission's pool class covers building pools and spas, not removing them, so ask which registration the provider holds and for what. Consumer Affairs Victoria says a tradesperson guarantees to provide services with due care and skill, fit for any specified purpose, within a reasonable time when no time is set.

A clear quote

Consumer Affairs Victoria says a quote should be clear about what it covers and carry a careful estimate of how long the work will take. Ask whether it covers waste and wash-water, and where they will go: EPA Victoria says wastewater must be kept out of stormwater drains so far as reasonably practicable.

The costs page lists what a quote should say it includes, with the source.

Is removing a fibreglass pool different from a concrete one?

The register, barrier and permit questions are the same. No government source read says how a fibreglass shell is lifted or cut, so this site makes no claim about it.

Does the pool laws' 30 cm rule apply to fibreglass?

The Commission says the pool laws apply to pools and spas capable of holding more than 30 cm of water, and that includes permanent pools.

What should I ask a provider?

Which registration they hold and for what, what the quote covers, and where waste and wash-water will go.
