    I have been in a similar situation (in Victoria) several times.

    Plans of Subdivision, while often straight forward, can sometimes need expert interpretation to clarify boundary responsibilities.

    In Victoria, it can be more complicated than other states because although the OC remains responsible for common property, which can include deck, terrace and balcony structures, the lot owner can be responsible for the surfaces of those structures in lot airspace.  And that includes tiles and waterproof membranes.

    Our legal interpretations have cost a few $100 each.  And we were given quotes before agreeing to pay for them.

    If you pay for a legal interpretation that supports your view, that the matters are an OC responsibility, it will be a very strong message to the OC committee.   It might be worth investing in one before you go down the VCAT path.
