Yeah – I probably should have said that I hope the definition would apply, although Graham↑5 could at least use the water quality and treatment criteria provided in that Schedule to qualify “properly maintain” in S62 (of the NSW Strata Schemes Management Act).
I’ve now done the homework that I should have done initially, and NSW Health’s preliminary advice is that their Regulation 2012 does not apply to “residential premises” but does apply to mixed-use Strata Schemes and to those where employees of the Owners Corporation or the Commercial Operators could use an on-site swimming pool or spa. Begs the question – what applies to an entirely residential Scheme with a pool or spa whose O/C employs a full-time caretaker or on-site manager?
The Officer of NSW Health with whom I spoke has called me back once with this preliminary advice, and undertook to do so again when she’s clarified that advice, and the matter of employees of an O/C; a very efficient woman indeed! I’ll report back on this when I receive confirmation / clarification.
