Yet again more misinformation from the Ministerial spokespeople on this topic. It is completely incorrect to say that only local councils can enforce planning laws that restrict short term letting.
For the record, I asked the Ministry twice to check if this was true. I told them what I was going to write and that I really didn’t want to get it wrong. I asked them what the point was of getting independent advice if the ruling was that you couldn’t have a by-law. What they wrote back was what I published.
Could they have got it so spectacularly wrong? Wouldn’t be the first time.
By the way the Attorney-General’s office (who look after NCAT) refused to confirm or deny as they will not offer legal advice.
