Reform to Strata Laws relating to keeping of pets

I am currently serving as Secretary on an EC that represents 10 units. The EC currently has 7 members. A bylaw was passed several years ago banning all pets however 3 of the EC members are actively campaigning to amend this. I am concerned about the keeping of pets (particularly dogs/cats) in some of the smaller apartments in the block however am open to owners of garden units having pets. I’ve been advised that amendments to the current bylaw cannot be structured to favour residents with gardens, however having reviewed the current NSW strata law reforms I’m wondering if this is correct as the bylaw could be revised to state that owners can apply to the EC to keep a pet and the EC can reasonably excuse it but only under strict conditions. Could the bylaw therefore be amended to allow only pets where the owner has a garden? I’m finding it quite stressful as it appears there’s a ‘them’ and ‘us’ war brewing.
