We are in Victoria btw
And there we have it.
Unfortunately the majority of water leaks from balconies, terraces and bathrooms in Victorian stratas is a lot owner responsibility.
Waterproofing, including waterproofing membranes, is usually a lot responsibility anywhere below the lot airspace. Waterproofing, including membranes, titles etc are seen to be surface treatments similar to paint in other states. Balconies and terraces are treated similarly to bathrooms.
You might need to get legal advice on whether it’s your responsibility or not.
