Coastal towns with most homes listed on Airbnb

Last September, the NSW government brought a 60 -day boundary annually in Byron in accommodation, where there was no host. Some parts of Sydney and regional NSW have a 180 -day hat. Victoria receives a short -term tax of 7.5 percent.

Gurran said it was too early to know if Byron Cap was effective, but he said that tourism continues to grow in the region in general.

“When they received new housing supply in Byron, it was definitely an important line to say that it would support local demand,” he said.

“Someone with a holiday home can only rarely rent and otherwise rent it as a permanent rental, because they want access to these buildings for themselves. This is a tool to help meet some of the costs of ownership.”

However, other owners may choose to give short -term permission to achieve higher return on local workers who want to live in the region but see that a house is not available as permanent rental.

Authorized, the regional rent increases in the last few years were directed by the wave of residents moving to the regions to work remotely.

“Short -term accommodation is not the cause or solution of existing housing prints.”
