Apartment and townhouse living is growing fast in Williams Landing and across the Wyndham corridor, and plenty of those households come with a dog or cat. Keeping pets happy in a smaller home, while staying on the right side of your owners corporation, is very doable with a bit of planning.
Know your owners corporation rules
Most apartment and townhouse complexes in Williams Landing, Tarneit and Wyndham Vale are governed by an owners corporation with its own pet rules. Under Victorian law these rules cannot be unreasonable, but it pays to check them before you commit. Ask for the rules in writing and confirm whether approval is needed for a new pet.
Set the home up for a happy pet
In a compact Truganina townhouse or a Williams Landing apartment, dedicate a quiet corner for your pet, use washable flooring or rugs, and build a daily walk around the local wetlands and parks into the routine. Nearby open space is one of the corridor's real advantages for pet owners.
