The Animal Justice Party (AJP) has secured an amendment to the Strata Schemes Management Amendment (Sustainability Infrastructure) Bill 2020, which overrides all current by-laws relating to the keeping of pets in apartment buildings.
OCN considers it outrageous the AJP would hold the environment hostage just to pass an unrelated last-minute amendment.
OCN is calling on both the opposition and cross bench to reconsider their support for the AJP rogue amendment and ensure that strata schemes remain democratic, where owners retain their right to vote on and determine by-laws for how their communities will live.
