    I would think it’s up to individual owners to:

    1. Ask the owners corp to upgrade the balustrades and
    2. If they either refuse or don’t  respond within two months, seek mediation at Fair Trading, followed by action at NCAT seeking orders under section 232 (2) of the Act.

    I haven’t heard of any cases being pursued, won or lost based on the ruling quoted in your initial email.  There are no Stratakops roaming around checking balustrades. And owners may be reluctant to do the heavy lifting because they will have to contribute to the costs (and suffer the slings and arrows of outraged neighbours).
