Aspire Property Management for Local Law Compliance
The new Noosa Local Law for Holiday Letting –
make sure you comply
Noosa Shire Council has passed a new Local Law for Short Term Accommodation (STA) that you need to know about if you are currently, or planning to, holiday let your property. Compliance with the local law will be essential to maintaining the right to operate STA.
What does this mean to you and what do you need to do?
The STA law requires a detailed application process and adhesion thereafter to compliance with certain required operating standards.
This includes requiring guests to behave according to a Noosa Short-Term Letting / Accommodation Guest Code of Conduct.
Failure to comply can mean removal of the right to operate STA.
