We ask that residents consider the impact having a pet will have on neighbors and the local community but we recognize that family pets are an integral part of many resident’s lives.  Therefore we have a guideline that recommends small pets over large pets, no off the lead walking at any time, noisy pets restricted to inside the home and pet owners take general care with their pets in the site surrounds. This is detailed further in the Resident Agreement and a copy of our pet policy can be obtained from our showroom.
