Qld housing shortage prompts review of Airbnb-style rentals
The Palaszczuk government is reviewing the impact of Airbnb-style rentals on the broader housing market in Queensland.in some parts of NSW, has been revealed in a response to a parliamentary question on notice.
He said any impacts short-term rentals had on the availability and affordability of longer-term accommodation would also be considered with regard to the NSW framework. On Friday, a council spokesperson said it was still too early to provide any details about how many properties would currently be in the higher rates category. The council has also not yet been involved in any consultation with the state government about the review.Airbnb’s Australia and New Zealand country manager, Susan Wheeldon, said the company welcomed the Queensland review and supported “fair and balanced statewide rules”, including an industry-wide code of conduct.
Noosa Mayor Clare Stewart said her council had been advocating for a statewide approach “for some time” but, with nothing planned, had decided to go it alone.
