    STRATA SCHEMES MANAGEMENT REGULATION 2016 – SCHEDULE 2
    SCHEDULE 2 – By-laws for pre-1996 strata schemes (Clause 35)

    16 Keeping of animals – 
    Subject to section 49(4) of the Act, an owner or occupier of a residential lot must not keep
    any animal on the lot of common property.

    Hi all, I bought a unit in NSW with the above bylaw, the original bylaw option A was repealed 6 years ago and replaced with the above. I will put a motion forward at the next AGM to change this to a ‘pets with approval’ option with many attractive conditions. I expect more than 25% will object and expect to take it to NCAT. What hope do I have that an adjudicator will consider this bylaw to be harsh, unreasonable and oppressive? Under this bylaw I can’t even keep a goldfish. Have there been precedents I can quote? Is there a database I can search to find any to present at mediation? I knew what I was buying into but I hoped in time that the feeling would change in this climate of modernised bylaws. Thanks in advance.
