Does the NSW child safety window lock legislation apply if a window opens onto the balcony of a unit?
If the balcony balustrade is compliant with the requirements at the time of construction, then the window restriction won’t come into play.
The requirements are that the window is above 2m from the ground and the windowsill is less than 1.7m from the internal unit floor. If the window is openable great than 125mm then it must be restricted when children are present. If the balcony balustrade is compliant with the requirements at the time of construction, then the window restriction won’t come into play. I hope this answers your query.
