City of Sydney Council appears pretty keen to change the status quo, not only for itself but for the whole of NSW.
City of Sydney have been very disappointing in their attitude to short-term lets in apartments – especially since they have more apartment blocks than any other council in Australia. I characterised their submission to the Coure inquiry (which said pretty much what you have here) as a betrayal of apartment residents.
However, their media person said this in a recent email to me on their official position on short-term letting: “The City believes that owners’ corporations should have improved powers to manage the impacts of short-term letting.”
Does that mean additional fines after the event? Or the ability to reject short-stay letting? If it’s the latter, the prospects may not be as bleak as we fear.
