I think $850 a quarter is cheap, I’m trying to figure out how the scheme can run a budget on that amount, given what you have. The owners corporation has to pay for things like electricity, insurance, strata manager’s fees, water, maintenance of the common property. How much are you paying into the sinking fund?
If you removed the pool that would cost you money, a lot more money than you are paying now. Note also DaveB’s comments, the pool forms a component of the value of your apartment.
