Question: Are there regulations on the use of smoker BBQs on apartment balconies considering the amount of smoke and smell these produce?
Answer: You must check the by-laws applicable to your scheme.
The short answer is that you must check the by-laws applicable to your scheme. Many schemes have by-laws which regulate BBQ’s and smoking, in particular since combustible cladding has become an issue in many buildings.
Further, the strata legislation prohibits anyone causing a nuisance (which includes smoke drift from smoking).
