Your “legal advice” is highly selective and skewed towards what you want to do. Just as the sections you have quoted don’t mention paint, the other sections don’t specifically mention screen or shutters.
However if you are depending on section 109 you might want to read down to 5(c) which says “This section does not apply to the following work: work that changes the external appearance of a lot …”
I think that says everything. You might be better spending your money on a challenge to the OC ruling at NCAT than wasting it on paint that will have to be scrubbed off after a long and bitter dispute during which you manage to get most of your neighbours offside.
Maybe you should ask the person who gave you the legal advice if they will guarantee that you won’t be ordered by NCAT to restore the walls to their previous condition.
