LPP 31 - Unhosted Short-Term Rental Accommodation and Residential Building

Unhosted short-term rental accommodation (e.g. Airbnb, Stayz etc) is popular within the Town of Victoria Park due to the proximity of the airport, the Perth CBD and the many local entertainment and tourism attractions such as Perth Stadium, the Burswood Casino complex, the Albany Highway strip, Curtin University and the Derbarl Yerrigan / Swan River.

This policy aims to support well-located unhosted short-term rental accommodation and residential buildings, which are appropriately managed to minimise impact to surrounding properties.
