People wanting to stay short-term for a football, pre-/post-cruise, bucks/hens, 18th/21st/40th/50th birthday et al weekend, or a short business stay, should stay in properties specifically designed for such purposes and with staff available to cater for their needs and control unruly visitors. Is there nowhere where resident owners and tenants can enjoy the communities in which they live?
Here’s a quote from one of the country’s major law firms – ‘bring it on’, I say:
“In the parallel strata reform process, we will continue to investigate how councils could be mandated to enforce residential planning, zoning or approval to prevent unauthorised short-term commercial letting of accommodation. The proliferation of illegal serviced apartments is a huge problem… and there remains insufficient scrutiny of this damaging practice.”
