    There is a prescribed height. I understand that this is a rule that has to be observed even without an order. Or is it not?

    So what happens if there is no order?  There are no StrataKops.

    However, if someone tips over it and suffers serious injury or worse in a fall, and there is a record of your strata scheme having been told the balustrade was under height, you could be in trouble from the victim of the fall and insurance might walk away.

    Or, if the council tells you it’s too low and orders you to fix it, then you could be fined for not doing so.

    Those scenarios aside, no one is going to come around and measure your balustrades and fine you if they aren’t high enough.
