Animal owners have had their applications rejected based on the time that the animals will spend alone within the Lot. See https://www.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/sinodisp/au/cases/nsw/NSWCTTT/2008/1069.html?stem=0&synonyms=0&query=%20NSWCTTT%201069%20(4%20June%202008)
Perhaps this could be an argument that your strata scheme may use, particularly if the students will be away from the Lot for a significant part of the day, and the animals are young.
