Using the Swimming Pool fields

Record pool compliance status and certificate details for a property with one or more swimming pools.

How pool information is populated

NSW NSW: details specific to New South Wales reviews
This section applies only to New South Wales reviews.

During document processing, Curia identifies pool compliance and non-compliance certificates in the contract and pre-fills the Swimming Pool tab with the extracted details. Each detected certificate becomes a separate pool entry.

If no compliance or non-compliance certificate is found but a registration certificate is detected, a pool entry is created with Pool compliance set to Unknown and Pool registration to Yes. If no certificates are found at all but the contract front page mentions a pool, a pool entry is created with both left as Unknown.

Review and edit the pre-filled data, add new pool entries by hand, or remove entries that aren’t required.

Report output

Each pool entry has its own sub-section under Swimming Pool in the report.

NSW NSW: details specific to New South Wales reviews
This section applies only to New South Wales reviews.

A pool set to Yes on Pool registration reports on its certification. Any other value reports on registration instead. A non-compliant pool reports the areas of non-compliance either way.

VIC VIC: details specific to Victoria reviews
This section applies only to Victoria reviews.

Each pool reports on its barrier compliance and on its registration, with the areas of non-compliance between them where the pool is non-compliant.

Registration is its own item in the report template, separate from the compliance content, so each can be edited or excluded on its own. See Editing your report template.

Preflight

This section applies only to New South Wales reviews.

The Preflight check lists each detected pool with its certificate status:

  • “Compliance certificate provided” - Pass.
  • “Non-compliance certificate provided” - Pass.
  • “No compliance or non-compliance certificate provided” - Warning.

The overall pool section Passes when every pool has either a compliance or non-compliance certificate.

Recommendations

Recommendations are raised automatically from the compliance status and from the registration status, provided the recommendation is Active in your Recommendation Library.

From compliance:

  • Non Compliant - request the pool non-compliance report so the required works can be assessed.
  • Unknown - note that a pool is referenced on the contract and request the compliance certificate.

From registration:

  • No - ask the vendor to confirm the pool is registered.
  • Unknown - ask the vendor to clarify whether the pool is registered.

What does each compliance status mean?
