Being faced with the choice between a beloved pet and relocating into a new strata residency can be a
very difficult decision.
Changes to by-laws arising from recent statewide reforms will mean that new strata developments will
not be able to impose a complete ban on all pets, and existing schemes are encouraged to review their
policies regarding the keeping of domestic pets by residents.
These changes are welcomed as a positive step for strata tenants, allowing people the opportunity to
keep pets securely within a strata premises.
As changes to by-laws such as this become integrated into the strata community lifestyle to reflect
modern living standards and expectations, a more enjoyable environment can be fostered for all tenants
and bring about changes in the overall perception of strata management schemes.
