if it is not bounded by a wall; and, any level is more than 1 m above the surface beneath
This also can apply to pools and spas, where a pool fence is required sometimes.

If your Balustrading was compliant at time of construction it is compliant now. However… all new work needs to be done to current standards. All councils allow maintenance but most will not allow the replacement of any structural member without bringing the whole up to current Codes.
Pool Fencing is a different case. The legislation is retrospective. All existing pools in Australia no matter the year of construction need to be the current Standards. As of April 2016 it is a legal requirement that your Pool Fencing is compliant prior to selling your house.
