oppressive. Note : Any such by-law may be invalidated by the Tribunal (see
section 150).
(2) By-law cannot prevent dealing relating to lot No by-law is
capable of operating to prohibit or restrict the devolution of a lot or a
transfer, lease, mortgage or other dealing relating to a lot.
(3) By-law
resulting from order cannot be changed If an order made by the Tribunal under
this Act has effect as if its terms were a by-law, that by-law is not capable
of being amended or repealed except by a by-law made in accordance with a
unanimous resolution of the owners corporation and, in the case of a
leasehold strata scheme, with the consent of the lessor of the scheme.

exclusively for aged persons.
(5) By-law cannot prevent keeping of assistance
animal A by-law has no force or effect to the extent to which it purports to

Commonwealth) used by an owner or occupier of the lot as an assistance animal
or the use of an assistance animal for that purpose by a person on a lot or
common property.
(6) A by-law may require a person who keeps an assistance
animal on a lot to produce evidence to the owners corporation that the animal
is an assistance animal as referred to in section 9 of the
Disability Discrimination Act 1992 of the Commonwealth.
