Palm next to pool. Problem?

Hi all.
I am in the process of "improving" our pool area, and I am concerned about a palm we have in there. I think it's a Bangalow palm and it's planted about 30cm away from the edge of my concrete pool. Now as far as I can tell it's been there since the pool was put in back in about 2002, and doesn't seem to have created any issues, but I'm still pretty wary that it's roots may cause me a headache later on in life. Anyone got any advice about whether it should stay or go?

If it helps, it's getting so tall that I can't cut the seed pods down now with my saw on a pole, and the seeds all drop in the pool, so you can see which way I'm leaning.............:wink:

Thanks in advance
