    The by-laws of your Association will state the permitted ages of people allowed in the pool unsupervised.

    Vandalism is not allowed under any rules that I know of.

    The kid's friends are guests of his parents, effectively, so they are responsible for their actions.

    The “I am an owners so I can do what I like” argument is simply not applicable in any strata. “I am an owner and I have to obey the rules or face the possibility of fines” would be more correct.

    The association should be issuing Notices To Comply for each of the breaches of by-laws. 

    The police might intervene in cases of vandalism and threats or personal abuse but otherwise they would rightly say that there is a mechansim for dealing with this within the strata so it really isn't any of their business.

    Date-stamped photographs of the boy and his mates misbehaving might be in order for future action.

    Being called a troublemaker is a bit of a badge of honour in strata – hey, that's what people call me.
