Local legends behind backyard transformations

AS backyard living continues to surge across regional Victoria, one Torquay-based business is making a name for itself by doing more than just installing pools — they’re building complete outdoor lifestyles.

Narellan Pools Geelong and the Surf Coast, proudly owned and operated by locals Steve Gatter and Simon Wellard, has become the go-to for families looking to turn their outdoor areas into something truly special.

Servicing Geelong, the Surf Coast, and Bellarine Peninsula, the family-run business delivers high-quality, Australian-made fibreglass pools — but it’s their full-service approach that really sets them apart.

“We’ve always believed that building a pool should be a smooth and exciting journey for families,” Steve said.

“That’s why we manage everything in-house, from permits and excavation to landscaping and final handover.”

Unlike many companies that rely on multiple subcontractors, Narellan Pools Geelong and the Surf Coast offers an end-to-end solution.

Clients work with one dedicated team, ensuring clear communication, consistent quality, and a seamless experience from concept to completion.

The business is backed by the nationally recognised Narellan Pools network — known for its durable, locally manufactured pool shells and lifetime structural warranties — but the local service and personalised care are where Steve and Simon shine.

“We’re raising our own families here,” Simon said.

“When we build a pool, we treat it like it’s our own backyard. That care and detail go into every job.”

With decades of combined experience in landscaping, construction, and project management, Steve and Simon have built a team that shares their values of honesty, craftsmanship, and community pride.
