      We’re lucky enough to have an indoor pool, spa & sauna in our residential apartment block. The facilities are provided for the use of residents. The legal definiton in NSW of a public pool is:

      “public swimming pool or spa pool means a swimming pool or spa pool to which the public is admitted, whether free of charge, on payment of a fee or otherwise, including:
      (a) a pool to which the public is admitted as an entitlement of membership of a club, or
      (b) a pool provided at a workplace for the use of employees, or
      (c) a pool provided at a hotel, motel or guest house or at holiday units, or similar facility, for the use of guests, or
      (d) a pool provided at a school or hospital,
      but not including a pool situated at private residential premises.      “

      I don’t think pools in apartment blocks are public pools but I’m not a lawyer. Does anyone know if my take on this is correct?

      Thanks in advance.

    PLEASE ... If your property is not in NSW, mention its location (state). Don't identify companies or individuals by name. Don't mention or promote your company or services. Keep acronyms and initials to a minimum. Please, don’t use “quote” unless there is a specific point to which you wish to refer, then highlight (define) that specific passage before you click on "quote". Otherwise just use reply. THANKS.
