      We have a 80cm balcony height and have requested that we put up a balustrade extension to a height of 120cm to provide a more secure environment for our child and children visiting the property.

      This has been objected against by the strata committee based on that it wouldn’t be in keeping with the look and appearance of the property.

      Its an old 1960’s building and our balcony is at the far side (end of driveway) and rear of the building. There are no bylaws to dictate what people hang in their windows and a number of people have enclosed their balconies (glass and aluminium).

      We feel that due to the fact that our balcony is hardly visible from the street, the age of the building (its far from new and is far from its original build) and also that there are different coloured blinds and curtains hanging in all windows that the strata committee (read – difficult 2 members) have been unreasonable in declining our request. – surely safety of children should be paramount!!

      We have an NCAT hearing next month and have already provided our evidence. Has anyone else had a similar experience or any useful advice?
