Question: What form needs to be filled out to permit balcony decorations such as an ivy trellis?
I want to cover our balcony with an artificial ivy trellis.
I have been given an application form for minor renovations to get approval from the owners corporation for the artificial trellis.
As I’m not doing any renovations, is this the correct form?
Answer: Yes, you should complete the “minor renovations” form.
Because you need written approval of the Owners Corporation, and, in the absence of another form, yes, you should complete the “minor renovations” form because most strata schemes delegate minor renovation approval to the strata committee (in which case a general meeting of the Owners Corporation will not be required) and it is likely that the trellis will not simply be placed on the balcony but in some way, will need to be “attached” or “affixed”.
