QLD: Can the body corporate allocate swimming pool lanes for resistance training sessions?

Question: Can our body corporate allocate 2 of our 3 swimming lanes for resistance training for 3 mornings of the week?

Answer: Is the action unreasonable?

The body corporate is required to make reasonable decisions. So the question might be whether this action is unreasonable. Presumably, there are a number of occupants at the scheme who want to use the pool for training purposes and if so, it sounds reasonable that they can do so.

Does blocking off the lanes unreasonably affect how others use the pool? We don’t know, but if enough people complain about it, it is probably a sign that a rethink is required.

So long as there has been some consideration of the pros and cons and some give and take around implementation, it sounds like a good idea. If it is just an arbitrary decision to please one or two people, it might be problematic.
