Nettie mentioned that the netting has not been affixed to the slab, therefore waterproofing hasn’t been compromised.
If Nettie’s strata scheme has adopted the Model By-laws then SSMA 2015 Schedule 3: [2(1)(c)] and [2(2)] should cover the installation of the child safety netting on common property.
These sections state:
2 Changes to common property
(1) An owner or person authorised by an owner may install, without the consent of the owners corporation:
(a) any locking or other safety device for protection of the owner’s lot against intruders or to improve safety within the owner’s lot, or
(b) any screen or other device to prevent entry of animals or insects on the lot, or
(c) any structure or device to prevent harm to children.
(2) Any such locking or safety device, screen, other device or structure must be installed in a competent and proper manner and must have an appearance, after it has been installed, in keeping with the appearance of the rest of the building.
