This article discusses if a body corporate can impose conditions on pet approvals in QLD, explaining that a committee may require approved dogs to wear ID tags in common areas if the condition is reasonable.
Question: Can our committee insist that registered and approved dogs wear ID tags when they are in common areas?
Answer: The issue would be whether the imposition of such a condition would be considered reasonable.
If such a condition was imposed on any pet approval, then yes, this could be insisted upon by the committee. The issue would be whether the imposition of such a condition would be considered reasonable. Subject to the specific circumstances, I think it would be very hard for a lot owner to argue that the condition was unreasonable.
