It isn’t all about rich people looking down on public housing. It’s everyday working people paying a mortgage who would like peace and quiet.
I understand and totally sympathise. However, our strata laws don’t allow us to create by-laws that discriminate or interfere with owners rights to let their properties. Banning social housing families would trigger challenges on both fronts.
That said, section 153 says owners must not permit occupants to create a hazard or nuisance. So go after the landlords who have the power to evict tenants who breach by-laws. And get NCAT orders to that effect, as they carry much stiffer penalties. Eventually the landlords and their agents will be much more careful about who they let their property to.
