Pool Removal in Lara
The plains around Lara have, in the government soil survey's words, cracking clays in the lower depressions and soils prone to compaction and erosion, and are one of the driest areas of the Corangamite region. That describes a soil-landform unit, not the suburb boundary, so it tells you how this kind of clay ground tends to behave, not what is under any one yard.

Pool Removal around Lara
The survey's unit for the Lara plains, read from an archived Victorian Resources Online page now hosted by Federation University's CeRDI, says the near-level plains around Lara represent one of the driest areas in the Corangamite region. It describes black and red mottled texture contrast soils, with cracking clays found in lower depressions and sinks, and soils prone to compaction and erosion because of the sodic nature of the subsoils. The page does not say Lara differs from the places beside it on the same plain, and it is undated.
What that means for a pool removal is a question for the provider, not a finding: how the fill in a pool hole is placed and compacted, and how the finished surface is protected from erosion. No government source read for this site says what fill, compaction or certificate satisfies the City of Greater Geelong, so ask the City first, and see the pool fill-in page for the questions to put to it.
Permits and City of Greater Geelong rules
Whether removing or filling in a pool here needs a permit is for the City of Greater Geelong to confirm: its pages say building permits are required for almost all new buildings, alterations, demolition and change of use, and say nothing on filling in or removing a pool.
