Queensland residents face the prospect of being banned from smoking on unit balconies. But in the raft of changes under new strata laws now in effect in the state, unit dwellers will no longer be unreasonably banned from having pets at home. The state government’s legislation, which Attorney-General Yvette D’Ath said was aimed at “improving liveability for the growing number of people residing in body corporate communities”, came into effect on Wednesday, May 1.
In January 2022, the commissioner placed a ban on a woman smoking on the balcony of her Gold Coast unit over a neighbour’s complaints of “relentless and unbearable” second-hand smoke. “You can still smoke within your property,” Lonergan said of the changes. “The essence of the change is allowing people to live free of second-hand smoke. When you sign up to community living, you sign up to a set of rules. “And those rules can be enforced as a part of the now changed legislation.
