Certification and council rules in O'Connor

O'Connor is a predominantly industrial suburb of the City of Fremantle, established in 1955, and it is where pool trades serving Perth's southern suburbs keep their yards rather than a residential pool catchment in its own right. Western Australia works differently from the eastern states: the state regulator requires building approval for all swimming pools and spas, any pool holding water more than 300mm deep must have a safety barrier, and the local government must arrange an inspection at least once every four years. There is no sale-triggered certificate as in NSW or Queensland — the obligation runs on the inspection cycle instead.
