The most recent laws introduced by the Moreton Bay City Council surrounding homelessness and pet ownership warrant much needed revision. The new regulations have neglected to recognise the significance of pets to homeless individuals, for emotional support and companionship, while also dismissing the reality of individuals residing in vehicles. We propose these amended changes:
1) Permit pets to accompany homeless persons in public spaces, subjected to certain guidelines: lead restrictions of a maximum length of 2 meters and compulsory cleanup by pet owners after their companions. Those that do not comply will then be issued enforcement actions. 

2) Homeless persons registered with relevant agencies, including Queensland Department of housing, and Immediate homeless response teams can continue to live within their vehicles, which offers them security and safety, which a tent setup may not offer them. Those that do not comply will then be issued enforcement actions.
