When it comes to property transactions in Queensland, ensuring compliance with pool safety regulations is just as crucial as the sale itself. Nationwide Conveyancing not only specializes in buying and selling property but also assists clients in navigating the intricacies of pool safety in QLD, including pool inspections and completing the Pool Safety Form 36 – Notice of No Pool Certificate. Whether you’re a buyer, seller, or real estate agent, our team ensures every legal detail is covered to make your transaction seamless and stress-free.
Why Pool Safety Compliance is Essential
In Queensland, pool safety is regulated under the Building Act 1975 to reduce drowning incidents and ensure the safety of residents. Properties with pools are required to meet specific safety standards, which include having a compliant pool safety certificate. If a certificate is not available, sellers must issue a Form 36 – Notice of No Pool Certificate to notify buyers of their obligation to obtain one.
Failing to comply with these regulations can lead to delays in property transactions and potential legal penalties. This is why Nationwide Conveyancing offers expert guidance on all aspects of pool safety compliance.

Understanding Pool Safety Form 36 – Notice of No Pool Certificate
The Form 36 – Notice of No Pool Certificate is a legal document that notifies the buyer when a pool safety certificate is unavailable at the time of sale. Here’s what you need to know:
- Who Prepares the Form? Sellers are responsible for completing the Form 36 and providing it to buyers as part of the contract.
- When is it Required? The form is mandatory for properties with a pool that does not have a valid safety certificate at the time of sale.
- Buyer’s Responsibility: Once the property is sold, the buyer has 90 days to obtain a pool safety certificate.
At Nationwide Conveyancing, we ensure this process is handled efficiently, protecting both parties from legal complications.
