HOW TO IDENTIFY THE BEST OF THE BEST IN THE AUSTRALIAN AQUATICS INDUSTRY

by Chris Samartzis, CEO, MPBAA

About Master Pool Builders Association Australia (MPBAA)

MPBAA was founded in 1961 at a time when the pool and spa industry in Australia was largely unregulated. This group of industry professionals dedicated themselves to raising the standards within the industry, driving change, building accountability and ensuring the longterm sustainability of the aquatics sector. Innovation and progression became a byproduct of this vision, which was then enthusiastically championed over many decades through the Awards of Excellence Program.

After 61 years and multiple name changes (from SPAV, CASPA, SPASA and SPASAVIC) MPBAA have now moved and evolved further to represent the need across Australia for a focused professional body that delivers on our consumer promise – to be the home of creativity, innovation and ethical expert advice within the Australian Aquatics Industry.

Our shared vision

The pursuit of excellence is a shared vision that is also embedded in Landscaping Victoria Master Landscapers (LVML). Together both MPBAA and LVML are beacons and leaders in their respective industries.

These ethical standards now - more than ever – remain fundamental to the core values of both brands and help distinguish our member organisations from others who purport to embrace professionalism but rarely achieve it.

Why we are different

From the outset - not everyone who asks becomes a member of MPBAA. Both MPBAA and LVML have a vetting process which ensures that members accomplish and maintain strict standards around ethics, workmanship, innovation, professionalism and construction.

Our members across all industry sectors such as Pool & Spa builders, retailers, technicians and pool inspectors represent the best in Australia. They are beacons of professionalism, ethical behaviour and above standard quality - always committed to delivering customer service above and beyond the norm.

Our vetting process has evolved over several decades and the level of knowledge we have gained during this time only strengthens our connection with our consumers. Our members’ clients know that they can reach out for ethical expert advice when embarking on their journey to create a backyard oasis.

Both MPBAA and LVML members are consistently receiving high award accolades for defining what the humble Australian backyard has become.

Everything from the back door to the back fence is now a work of art – a positive investment in the social capital that allows families to enjoy their home to the fullest.

The Australian pool, spa and garden is part of the core fabric of our lifestyle. A place of connection and a symbol of progress over generations. As an association with 60 years of history, MPBAA has built a legacy of enduring quality which has sustained and celebrated Australia’s innate connection and love of the backyard.

Choosing the best of the best in Australia

The alfresco backyard revolution is powering on. When consumers decide to invest in their home, they should look for vetted professionals who are at the top of their profession! A MPBAA and LVML member is the only person you need to bring your dream backyard into reality. Through our organisations, the vetting process has been done for you.

An MPBAA or LVML logo on their business is not easy to obtain, so when you see one you know you are dealing with the best of the best in Australia.

Our organisations represent the highest standard across Australia. With stronger barriers to entry and greater ongoing responsibility, consumers should feel

Both LVML and MPBAA are facilitators for our country’s aspired outdoor lifestyle and vital regulators for industry excellence across both segments. Australian Master Pool Builders and Master Landscapers embrace quality in all aspects of their business. They take pride not only in their workmanship, but also in their values of integrity, ingenuity and mastery. Our members represent the best and most respected professionals in the industry.

Together we commit to delivering inspired, quality pool, spa and garden design solutions that bring Australian family’s enjoyment, connection and wellbeing for years to come. That is what enduring quality means to us.

When it comes to all things swimming pool / spa and gardens, make sure you choose a Master Pool Builder Association Australia member and a Landscape Victoria Master Landscaper.
