NSW: Q&A Can We Have BBQs or a Small Fire Pit on the Apartment Balcony?

 

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).
