    I can understand the sentiments here and I support them.

    But VCAT has to decide on points of law (not public sentiment).

    And they have found that the OC Act doesn’t allow an OC to make rules that restrict short term rentals.

    So the VCAT decision needs to be challenged or the OC Act needs to be changed. Or the matter has to be handled outside the OC Act altogether (eg by a planning authority).

    If there’s another alternative, I’d really like to know what it is!
