    Having been built in 1983, Ordnance 70 would have been applicable at that time – 860mm.  We have a similar problem and construction, with a garden planter (with NO protection) belonging to the lot on the other side of one of these balustrades. there is a 2 storey drop. The OC has agreed by special resolution to instal balustrades to comply with the current regulations, but one disgruntled owner has persuaded the compliance department of our local council to overrule the DA planning department’s advice that no DA was required as “Balustrades for safety purposes are exempt development.”  Currently trying to avoid the costs and additional time delay of submitting a DA.
