Short-term rental accommodation in NSW: explanation of intended effect


The NSW Department of Planning and Environment sought feedback on proposed amendments to planning rules in order to provide for short-term rental accommodation (STRA) in NSW. STRA was formerly known as short-term holiday letting.

The proposed amendments will introduce statewide planning rules, including a new land use definition, exempt and complying development pathways and building safety standards.

The statewide planning rules are part of a recently announced NSW Government framework for STRA, which also includes an industry-wide mandatory Code of Conduct and changes to strata legislation.

An Explanation of Intended Effect has been prepared outlining the proposed amendments to planning rules. The department welcomed feedback between 5 October 2018 until 16 November 2018, but noted that the statewide permissibility of STRA and number of days in which it can take place are a policy position endorsed by Government.
