Mayor Adrian Schrinner says property owners would now need appropriate planning approvals, body corporate support and a 24-7 property manager for short-term rentals
Hard to argue tbh… Is there a negative to something like this I’m not aware of?
Personally I think Airbnb is the stupidest thing going. You pay more than hotel rates, to live in a house you have to clean and tidy yourself and then pay cleaning fees on top, and its often a hassle if anything goes wrong as there’s no responsible party you can approach - Airbnb shrug their shoulders, and the host just hides behind a mobile number they can conveniently turn off.
Have used them a couple of times in the past purely because we had pets and I hated it.
It really feels like a ‘Do something, anything!’ situation.
To use a cricket analogy, take any easy singles now, and you can hit the boundaries when(if?) they come.
Maybe, except I’m not convinced there’s any desire with the LNP especially to actually hit those boundaries. They’d rather hit a couple of singles to get people off their back, and leave it at that.
