Balcony Waterproofing in Elanora
Elanora sits behind Palm Beach and Currumbin on the southern end of the coast — suburban housing and low-rise units, close enough to the ocean to get the air but without the tower access problem.

Balcony Waterproofing around Elanora
This is small-balcony territory, and on a modest suburban balcony the value of the job is the first thing to check against QBCC's $3,300 licence threshold. A small reseal can sit below it; a full strip and rebuild will not.
Elanora is mostly houses and low-rise units, and on a house the duty is stated plainly by QBCC: it is the home owner's responsibility to make sure the right building approvals are in place before work starts, even if a builder has been hired.
Permits and City of Gold Coast rules
Whether a balcony or deck waterproofing job needs a building approval depends on its scope, and QBCC’s own advice is to check with your local government or a private building certifier rather than assume either way. Two things shift the answer out here: a larger elevated deck is more likely to involve structural elements than a small tiled balcony, and a unit or townhouse complex adds a body corporate step — QBCC directs apartment owners to check strata by-laws and whether written approval is needed where common property is affected. Unless new building work is occurring, a building is only required to meet the standards in force at its most recent building approval.
