There’s two parts to this question: are they allowed and should they be allowed?
The answer to the first part is to check your by-laws. If the by-laws don’t say they aren’t allowed, then they are.
Most balconies are common property so your strata scheme gets to say what it does and doesn’t allow on them – but it has to be enshrined in a by-law (and by-laws differ from scheme to scheme).
As to whether they should be on balconies, I personally don’t think any barbecues should be allowed on balconies and if they are, they should be strictly controlled.
They are both a fire risk and a potential smoke nuisance and I don’t think you’d get much resistance from owners who were propared to say yes to gas and electric barbies bit no to charcoal ones.
