Strata committees and building managers often face the challenge of maintaining a cohesive building aesthetic while allowing residents to personalise their balconies. Haphazard additions like mismatched screens and canopies can detract from the property's overall appeal, thereby affecting unit sales and leases. Most strata buildings have by-laws governing the visual appearance of individual lots, requiring approval for exterior alterations like installing shutters or adding trellises. Strata committees are obligated to enforce these by-laws, but should do so while fostering dialogue and cooperation among residents. Clear guidelines on allowable furniture, plants, screens and decorations can preserve aesthetics while giving flexibility, while encouraging input from owners when developing or revising by-laws promotes a collaborative approach to finding the right balance between uniformity and personal expression. #strata #apartmentliving #balconies #bylaws https://lnkd.in/grHbiDsq
