Would it be okay if a NSW pet bylaw required people to get approval from the Strata Committee before they permitted an animal in the building?

Would it be okay if a bylaw required people to get approval from the Strata Committee before they permitted an animal in the building? This would give the Strata Committee the ability to vet the animal first to try to decide if it would be a nuisance and not, say, a prohibited breed of dangerous dog like a bulldog etc.

Yes this is possible and indeed this is now the recommended pets by-law for most strata buildings.
