Rules on Building an Outdoor Deck in Sectional Title Properties

Building a deck or patio in a sectional title property requires body corporate approval. These additions typically impact common property or the appearance of the building and must meet local building regulations.

Key Considerations

• Written consent from the body corporate is required.
• The deck must adhere to structural safety and building codes.
• Consider the impact on neighbors and privacy issues.
