Tiger – I have owned a Lot in a very large layered strata scheme on several hectares of land in QLD, with over 170 townhouses. Our by laws required that owners submit a photo of the animal when applying for permission to keep the animal. These photos were kept on file by the on site manager. I guess this was a type of “register”.
This is what we avoided (105 townhouses on 11.4Ha) by amending our rules to give automatic permission for small numbers of certain sorts of animals subject to various conditions. The EC was not interested in the bureaucracy of keeping a file of photos and playing police-man. Previous pet rules were poorly complied with anyway. If an animal becomes a nuisance, neighbours will quickly let us know whose animal it is. This leaves us only having to bother with permissions and record-keeping for rare instances of something out of the ordinary and only getting involved in actual problems.
