I get the feeling we are whistling in the dark here as I suspect the OP hasn’t actually applied to the strata committee for permission to erect the fence (apologies if you have – but you haven’t said as much).
The simplest thing to do is to send a letter to the secretary and the starta manager saying you want to install fencing of a certain height along your boundary, stating the proposed material and its colour and asking if they have any problems with that and what they might be.
Point out (politely) that this land is part of your lot and the enclosure will be consistent with other owners’ yard fencing.
Their response is where you discussions begin. Don’t assume they’ll say no. If they do refuse, their grounds for doing so will give you an idea what your next step might be. It will also trigger the possibility further action to pursue the issue.
