In QLD the by-laws (i.e. strata laws) cannot be changed to exclude short term rentals. An Adjudicator’s Order of Sept 2016 found that a by-law such as that would be void. The Adjudicator based the Order on the following BCCMA legislative provisions:[s180(3)] If a lot may lawfully be used for residential purposes, the by-laws can not restrict the type of residential use.
And
[s180(4)] A by-law can not prevent or restrict a transmission, transfer, mortgage or other dealing with a lot.
Queensland is another planet when it comes to strata so this doesn’t surprise me at all. Interesting though that airbnb is starting to sue authorities that try to restrict their $30 billion business. So much for sharing and caring.
