For the first time in 14 years, laws regarding owning a pet in Brisbane are in talks to change, including restrictions of keeping unique pets.
New laws will be added to existing ones, including adding peacocks and peahens to the list of prohibited animals in residential areas.
Council lifestyle and community services chairman Matthew Bourke applauds the proposed law, saying it will be easier for residents to be responsible pet owners by reducing certain restrictions and simplifying the animal permit system.
The new law is open for public consultation until February 22.
