Don't you need permission to put up a fence from council? We had an owner who tried to build a retaining wall around common property (without permission from anyone). Investigations found that the wall that this owner was proposing needed council approval (let alone strata).
If this fence is left to stand without approval or exclusive use by law then the strata would be responsible for it should it fall into disrepair, or fall onto someone!
Nope. Council is only bothered if it is an external wall higher that 6m. Council laws differ from place to place. Yes I assume that the strata is reponsible. Nobody wants bylaws here.
