Pool Resurfacing in Mount Pleasant
Small lots are the City of Ballarat's own description of the properties in its septic-system clusters: its Onsite Wastewater Management Plan says they typically have small lot sizes that constrain the capacity for onsite treatment and disposal, and it names Mount Pleasant as one of the nine suburbs. A pool must not be connected to such a system unless it was designed to take the load and the City has approved it.

Permits and City of Ballarat rules
A resurfacing in Mount Pleasant is not named on the City of Ballarat's permit lists, which cover new pools and spas and pool or spa safety barriers; whether it needs a permit is for the City to confirm.

Pool Resurfacing around Mount Pleasant
The Plan says clusters, not every property, and it does not say which Mount Pleasant streets they are. Where a pool sits on one of those small lots there is little room around it, so the questions to put to the provider are practical: how the old surface's debris and wash-down water will be contained on the lot, and where the pool's own water will go.
EPA Victoria says waste, wastewater included, must be kept out of stormwater drains so far as reasonably practicable, and no page we read says whether a pool may be drained to the sewer. Central Highlands Water is the body to ask whether a property is inside the declared sewerage district, as the City's own page advises.
