    As penance for my earlier error, here is an extract from the “Who’s Responsible” document cited by Whale.

    WINDOWS:

    Note 20: If the strata plan was registered before 1 July 1974 the balcony wall including the windows and door and their working parts are generally part of the lot and the lot owner’s responsibility for maintenance and repairs (unless there is a notation on the strata plan or the balconies are not shown on the strata plan).

    If the plan was registered after 1 July 1974 the balcony wall including the windows and doors and their working parts are generally common property and the owners corporation’s responsibility (unless the strata plan says otherwise). With the exception to flyscreens and/or security doors where they were installed by an owner after registration of the strata plan.

    Note 22: With the exception where #20 applies, the owners corporation are responsible for their repair & maintenance.
