Start here: who does the work
Pool removal jobs enquired about through this site are quoted and carried out by independent contractors — separate businesses that contract with you directly, in their own names, under their own management. The operator of pooldemolitionperth.com.au runs a referral website. It does not demolish pools, dig holes, cart rubble, place backfill, or supervise anyone who does, and it is not a party to whatever you agree with a contractor.
What the operator has not checked, ever
No referred contractor's licence, registration, insurance, qualifications or track record has been verified by this site's operator, and nothing published here should be read as claiming otherwise. Vetting is your job, and it takes two steps:
- Licensing — WorkSafe WA. Where the work requires a licence (demolition classes, or asbestos removal if suspect material such as old fencing or pool-shed sheeting turns up), confirm the contractor holds it by checking with WorkSafe WA (worksafe.wa.gov.au) directly — against the regulator's records, not a document the contractor hands you.
- Insurance — certificate of currency. Ask for a current, insurer-issued certificate of currency for public liability cover (and workers' compensation where they employ people). A verbal "we're covered" is not a document.
A contractor who hesitates on either has answered your real question. Engage a different one.
Guide figures are guides
The dollar bands, timeframes and process descriptions on this site are Perth-metro general information, correct to the date printed on each page. They bind nobody: not the operator, not any contractor, not any council. Only a written quote for your property is a price, and only your own local government can say what approvals your removal needs. No statement on this site is a promise that a demolition permit or any other approval will be granted.
Backfill, compaction and building over — a specific warning
Pages on this site discuss engineered backfill and building over removed pools. That material is general context, not geotechnical or structural advice. The operator does not certify, inspect or warrant any backfill or compaction work, and whether a filled pool site can support a structure is a question for a geotechnical engineer and your builder, answered against your actual site. Get compaction documentation from your contractor in writing at handover, and keep it — future buyers and builders will ask for it.
Pool safety barriers
Nothing on this site authorises removing or lowering a pool safety barrier while a pool can still hold water. WA's barrier rules apply throughout demolition, and compliance on site is a matter between you, your contractor and your council — not something a website can manage or take responsibility for.
Where liability sits
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the operator accepts no liability for the work, conduct, pricing, delays, insurance status or omissions of any independent contractor engaged following a referral, nor for loss caused by reliance on general information published here. Your rights in relation to any work sit in your contract with the contractor and in the Australian Consumer Law, none of which this page limits.
