This Friday, 8 May, Murray Cox and Professor Nicole Gurran will be discussing ‘Inside Airbnb: International evidence on short-term rentals, housing markets and regulation’...

A report stating that the 60-day cap for non-hosted short term rental accommodation (STRA) in Byron Shire is ‘ineffective’ has been roundly criticised by the Byron Shire mayor, Victims of Holiday Letting (VOHL), and local STRA researcher, Dr Sabine Muschter, who was part of the research team looking at Airbnb impacts on small communities.

Regulations around Short Term Rental Accommodation (STRA) came into effect for Byron Shire on September 23, with most of the shire now capped at 60 days for un-hosted holiday lets. Two precincts in Byron Bay and Brunswick Heads have no cap restrictions.

The state government has approved a new 60-day cap on non-hosted short term rental accommodation (STRA) for large parts of the Byron Shire. Most of NSW has no cap.
