Pets Housing Choices understands the importance of the companionship of pets, and will grant approval to keep small domestic pets, subject to council by-laws. Before you get a new pet, you must gain approval from your Housing Officer. When approving a pet to live at your property, we look at many factors including: • whether the property is a suitable size for the type or size of the pet; • the fencing at the property, and if it is a suitable type and height for the pet; and • the size of the yard at the property and whether it is suitable for the pet.
You will need to make sure the pet is registered with the relevant local council, micro-chipped and that all local government regulations concerning the ownership of the pet are followed. For more information about pet ownership and regulations in your area, please contact your local council. Residents that have permission to keep a pet will have a specific, signed agreement that outlines the requirements for keeping pets. Housing Choices retains the right as the landlord, to determine whether a resident can keep pets under their lease, please contact your Housing Officer or call 1300 312 447.
