    I believe the VCAT ruling was based on the fact that the building in question was in an area zoned mixed use – i.e. commercial and residential only.  I think if your building was zoned residential only, you could still ban short-term lets, even in Victoria (although this has not been tested, as far as I know).  The objection to the bans in Docklands, Melbourne,  was that the owners Corp was “over-reaching” by acting as a planning authority. It all depends on the definition of “residential”.
