The Strata Plan says
‘The Stratum of the balconies extends from the upper surface of their respective concrete floor level to a height of 3.0 metres above that surface except where covered’
The balcony is tiled.
Who is responsible for the tiles?

The cover referred to here is, for instance, the balcony above the one you are referring to which forms a ceiling or roof.
If the balcony is common property then the tiles covering it are too (unless clearly stated otherwise in the by-laws).

Your EC is misreading this document. It's actually saying THEY are responsible for everything for three metres above the concrete in common property.
The land department’s memorandum on who’s responsible for what in strata says balcony seal and tiles are the OC’s responsibility. Bear in mind that might not apply to your building but in the absence of anything that says it doesn’t, I’d say that was the default position.
