    Hi there and thank you for your questions.

    1. The City can commence enforcement action under the Planning and Development Act 2005 where the use has occurred without receiving development approval. The maximum penalty for an individual is $200,000 together with daily fines of $25,000 for each day during which the offence continues.
    2. If the standard governance and conduct by-laws set out in Schedule 1 and 2 of the Strata Titles Act 1985 apply to a strata/survey strata scheme, there is no prohibition or restrictions on short-term rental, however, under current strata laws, strata companies can adopt standard by-laws which enable them to:
    • manage some of the impacts that may arise from uses such as short-term rental accommodation, including management of common property; and
    • require that an owner/occupier must notify the strata company of a change of use of that lot including if it is to be used for short-term rental accommodation.

    This is a matter for each strata company to consider.

    If your Strata or Community Titles Scheme has a by-law that prohibits Short-Term Rental Accommodation from being operated from the premises, then you may risk cancellation or suspension of your registration with the Department of Energy, Mines Industry Regulation and Safety by contravening this by-law.
