The independent legal advice that I received on fuse box/board within an individual lot referred to the Strata Schemes Management Act (1996), section 81:

There are no regulations which affect or make mention of electrical fusebox/sub-board within an individual lot, the advice being that it is therefore the responsibility of the Owners Corporation.
Home contents insurers do not cover this item in my experience as they consider it a building fixture and not an “electrical appliance”, and they will also refer the owner to section 81 of this act.
