I reread my post and realised I didn’t directly answer the question, ie
is “the OC is obliged to change the hight of the balcony balustrade, because one of the owners is saying that the hight doesn’t comply with the building code”?
Answer: no as long as the balustrade met the relevant building codes when the balustrade was constructed. The exception being if there has been ‘rectification or repair’ work done on them in which case the balustrade would have to meet the codes current at that time.
It sounds like the advice you got 5 years ago and the 2009 OHS report (depending upon who they were from) would indicate that the relevant codes were met.
