Yes it seems very odd to me.
But in Victoria the waterproof membranes and tiles on a balcony or roof terrace (that in effect forms part of a roof) can be the owners responsibility, while the rest of those structures are the OC’s responsibility. This is an extension of the logic that owners are responsible for surface treatments in their lots like carpets and paint.
It can lead to situations where the OC can then demand the owner take action when terraces or balconies leak into other apartments below.
When is a common roof not a common roof? Sometimes… when it’s a roof terrace.
But I can’t see that the same rule could be apply to a dome…
