You are changing the outward appearance of the building so you will propbably need a DA from the council which will probably be contingent on approval from your Owners Corporation.
If you are attaching the awning to common property or straying into common property air space (check your strata plan) you will also need a common property by-law and you may even have to compensate the strata scheme for taking over common property.
In this instance, I would not depend on the word of contractors unless they have done very similar work in your specific building. I vividly recall a flooring salesman telling me not to worry about strata committees as “it’s all BS and they can’t stop you doing what you want.”
It isn’t and they can.
