My property has a balcony. How can I keep it child-safe?

Another serious risk area is the balcony, particularly older-style balconies with plenty of things children can use to get a foothold for climbing. Strata managers can help by working with owners to implement low-cost solutions. Perspex panels to cover older-style, decorative, low balcony railings are one option; another is affixing shade cloth over climbable elements like balustrades. There are other solutions, but for price-sensitive owners corporations the cheaper options can still save lives.
