I don’t know what you’re “entitled” to do, but it seems like some communication with your Committee would be in order – letting them know that you’ve had new and special doors installed (with permission?) and there is no need to replace them.
Thank you very much for your answer. Yes the by-law for my unit renovation, including balcony door replacement, was registered 2 y ago. The OC approved the renovation. The OC were aware of the planned remedial works at that time. As I understand it I’m responsible for the balcony door maintenance since it is my lot property.
One more piece of information related to my questions. I’ve just learned that new regulations require that strata building remedial works, including all affected building elements, have to be in strict accordance with the BCA/NCC and the Australian Standards. As the balcony doors are affected by the planned work they have to comply with the standards at the completion of these works. As the unit renovation was done by the previous owner I do not have evidence that my door complies with these standards. I can not find information if the door can be tested on-site to get required certification.
