FAQ

Common questions

I'm only renting for a few months while overseas — do I need a development application?
If your total bookings will exceed 90 nights in your registration year, yes. Many owners in this situation find they hit 90 nights quickly. If you're unsure, apply for DA before you start taking bookings — it's cheaper than operating without approval.
What does 'neighbour notification' mean in practice?
The Town is required to notify adjoining and nearby property owners about your application before it can be assessed. Neighbours can make written submissions. This typically adds 2–3 weeks to the assessment timeline.
Can I just stay under 90 nights to avoid the development application?
Yes — the 90-night exemption is legitimate and commonly used. If you stay under 90 nights you only need state registration. The State Register tracks this and alerts you as you approach the threshold.
How long does DA assessment take?
60–90 days from lodgement is typical. Because unhosted short-term rental is an 'A' use requiring advertising, add 14–21 days for the advertising period on top of the assessment time.
