Aluminium Balustrade Replacement for Northern Beaches Apartment Buildings

Does your apartment block have rusting, outdated, or non-compliant balustrades? If you're a strata owner or manager on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, it may be time to consider upgrading to a modern, safe, and compliant aluminium balustrade system.

At Plan A Builders, we specialise in balcony repairs and balustrade replacement for multi-residential properties. Our aluminium balustrade solutions are tailored to meet current building codes and withstand harsh coastal conditions.

⚠️ Why Old Balustrades Need to Be Replaced

Balustrades in buildings over 20 years old are often:

• Rusting or corroded

• Structurally weakened from weather exposure

• Non-compliant with modern NCC and BCA height or gap requirements

• Visually outdated or deteriorating

This can lead to safety hazards, insurance issues, and compliance notices from council or strata building inspectors. If your building is showing signs of balcony deterioration, balustrade replacement should be a top priority.

💡 Why Aluminium Balustrades Are the Ideal Upgrade

Aluminium is now one of the most popular materials for apartment balustrades across Northern Beaches Sydney—and for good reason:

• ✅ Corrosion-resistant – Perfect for coastal environments like Manly, Dee Why & Narrabeen

• ✅ Lightweight & durable – Easy to install without heavy structural loads

• ✅ Low maintenance – No rust, rot, or repainting required

• ✅ Stylish and modern – Available in powder-coated colours to match your building

• ✅ Fully compliant – Meets all NCC safety regulations and design requirements

🏗️ Case Study: Aluminium Balustrade Upgrade in Dee Why

Plan A Builders was recently engaged to upgrade the rusted steel balustrades of a 12-unit building in Dee Why. The original balustrades were:

• Showing visible rust and corrosion

• Below the current minimum height requirement of 1 metre

• Non-compliant with NCC gap and strength standards

We replaced them with powder-coated aluminium balustrades in a modern charcoal finish. The project was completed in under two weeks, and owners now enjoy a safer, more attractive, and compliant façade—adding value to the property.
