Reply To: Pet vote with no motion applied to another animal

Setting aside the incorrect procedure in getting the vote and interference.

This was the permit. Written down after I asked for it.

SM email: “I have now obtained written approval from MrB and MG, as it was not recorded in the minutes from the last AGM even though you confirmed in writing it was discussed.

Our by-laws is:
Clause 16 Keeping of animals
(1) Subject to section 49 (4), an owner or occupier of a lot must not, without the approval in writing of the owners corporation, keep any animal on the lot or the common property.
(2) The owners corporation must not unreasonably withhold its approval of the keeping of an animal on a lot or the common property.

Doesn’t this sound like a Blanket Permit, since:
1. It resulted from the 2021vote then now claiming it includes this dog brought in on Oct 2022.
2. Zero information, zero conditions.
As OC/committee member myself I cannot say I can vote with care and diligence as per Clause 37 of the act.

37 Duty of members of strata committee
It is the duty of each member of a strata committee of an owners corporation to carry out his or her functions for the benefit, so far as practicable, of the owners corporation and with due care and diligence

Is there anything on the laws and decisions that:
1. Allow for Blanket Permits.
2. An application and permit for each individual animal, each and every time a new pet is taken whether new or replacement
3. What an application should minimally contain. Acceptability of oral applications.
4. What a permit should minimally contain.

Does our by-law as currently stated need to be changed to refer to an internal process of getting a written permit?

Thank you again.
