Whilst the strata act describes who is responsible for a fence, the law governing fences is the dividing fences act ( in NSW).
The act only says a suitable fence needs to be erected and it needs to be agreed by the owners. So if the fence is between two lots, then these owners need to agree on a fence and split the cost.
i don’t see anywhere in the strata act that allows the owners corporation to dictate the type of fence between lots .
if it’s a coo on property fence, the owners corporation has a say as to the type of fence
if it’s between a lot and common property, then the lot owner and the owners corporation need to be in agreement.
the dividing fences act is also very specific in how to remedy disputes.
