Charlie, Jimmy’s advice is correct, and as you apparently have a copy of the Strata Title Plan and the Lot Plan that forms part of that, the thick black lines shown on the latter define the boundaries of your Lot, and there will be a Stratum Statement to define the top and/or bottom boundaries of that Lot; look for something worded like “the stratum of the Lot is limited to 3 metres above and below the upper surface of raft slab forming the floor of the Unit”.
In that example, you own and are responsible for everything up to 3m above the floor of your residence (like the pergola) and 3m below (like sewerage/water pipes serving only your residence).
Hope this further information assists, but as Jimmy advises, it’s always best to advise the Owners Corporation (of which you’re a part by the way) of what you intend to do, even if you don’t require its consent.
Advice to the Strata Manager if your Plan has one, and to the Secretary of your Executive Committee if it doesn’t.
