Ed’s email a good example of the the issues. It’s an apartment block. We need a full time person just to administer.
Either way, I go with the majority

Having lived in London for a number of years, large dogs live in apartments without concern, as long as their owners are responsible.

In this meeting the owner should be able to articulate a plan as to how they will exercise the dog to ensure that it is not distressed, and therefore not generally noisy.

I had a 40kg labrador that never barked but l have lived next door to a terrier that barked constantly for years. But since I am not contemplating owning a pet again I don’t have any objections to the change in by-laws in principle.

> Hi Pia el all,
> Some of you may be aware that Di from 602 has been calling people requesting the EC submit a bylaw at the next GM that allows dogs to be allowed in 200 William Street.
> I know some of you will have have passionate views about this bylaw as will the wider owners. If such a Bylaw was up for consideration I would like to discuss the ground rules for such a law. Di has suggested that the law be made that pets would be allowed subject to permission by the owners corp.

> I would vote in favor at an AGM for allowing dogs in the building providing the bylaw ad the following requirements. My requirements are safety relayed. As I have a small child and there are others in the building with children. I believe Safety is paramount.
>
> Pet's would be allowed in 200 William as approved by the owners corporation.
>
> The owners corporation could not approve Dogs that have been deemed by any council to be A Dangerous Dog, Guard Dog, Menacing Dog or a Restricted breed. (An American Pit Bull for example)
>
> Dogs must be restrained at all times by a lead and have fitted a muzzle at all times while on common property.
>
> I have a good understanding of dogs and am a bit of a dog lover myself and have had dogs until I moved into an apartment. These requirements are not overly restrictive but protect innocents from anyone that would recklessly use a dog to frighten or intimidate others or just negligently select a dog that was inappropriate for an apartment.

> Providing these requirements were met I would be in favor of a proposing such a bylaw.

> It would be horrifying to be stuck in a lift with an American Pitbull and and your child. What are your thoughts.
