We do permit pets, but with restrictions. I’m very glad to see the result of these two appeals due to the broader issues raised. I have read both judgements. The key point for me was put forward by one of the Owner’s Corporations:
“… the implicit premise that one person’s preference to keep a pet is more important than another person’s… preference to live without a pet in the building…”
Strata living in a nutshell. 😉 Hopefully these appeals allow communities to choose their own destiny. Want a building which permits or restricts pets, short term lets, smoking, ballroom dancing in the courtyard, visible washing, solar panels, electric vehicle chargers? Read the by-laws & find a strata scheme which suits you & your circumstances.
