When it is not clear

Owners should ask their strata manager or strata committee for common property repairs. When it is unclear who should arrange a repair, the strata plan and by-laws are the documents to read Whether a given part of a balcony counts as common property depends on the scheme, so we say nothing further here.

Ask the strata manager or committee before arranging anything on a balcony or landing, and tell the provider what you were told.
