Hello,
I'm in a situation where there's a pool that's damaged in one of the neighbourhood schemes, requiring repair. I'm in a separate strata property within the same community association, and have been issued a notice to pay for the pol cracking via a levy.
I don't even use the pool! Can I be levied?

If something that is common property needs repairs or maintenance with your strata then you I believe you would have to pay a special levy. Just because you don't use a part of common property doesn't mean you don't have to maintain it. It's like someone who doesn't have or drive a car would have to still pay for the maintenance of the driveway.2
Helpmeplease,
If I understand this correctly, a pool in a neighboring strata scheme that is not part of your strata scheme, but is part of the same community needs repair.
Do you know if this pool is deemed to be community property? It may be defined as such in the community management statement.
If the pool is not part of your OC’s common property, but is ‘shared’ you should not be receiving a levy directly, but the levy that you pay to your strata scheme should partially be contributing towards this.
If it is not ‘shared’ or community property,you may want to question this further.
