Re: Our Animal Keeping rule

The requirement that unit owners apply for permission and that an OC cannot unreasonably withhold permission comes from the Unit Titles (Management) Act (in the ACT), not from the whim of the particular EC or OC. In our case, we aimed to streamline things so that nearly all instances of ordinary animal keeping (one or two dogs or cats or a few goldfish or whatever) would be covered with approval given by the rule. That leaves the EC only having to bother with a much smaller number of less typical applications.
