Re: Are apartment block pools “public”?

Thanks for the responses. I am not concerned about our current pool & spa hygiene routine. Our on site building management people do a sterling job keeping everything tickety boo with the help of the contracted pool maintenance firm & we’ve not had any problems thus far.

My concern is the line between what is advisable & what is compulsory. Take a hypothetical apartment building with pool & spa facilities deemed private for residents. In this legislative fairyland all levels of government including the owners corporation decide that short term lets are perfectly acceptable & owners start letting whole apartments on that basis. At what point, if ever, do the apartment building’s pool & spa facilities turn into “public” facilities in the eyes of the public health legislation resulting in compulsory compliance measures? i.e. is there a point where the apartment building is deemed a hotel?
