WA rules applying in City of Joondalup

These state or territory rules apply in addition to any council and property-specific requirements below.

Western Australian STRA registration and planning reforms

Western Australia separates mandatory registration from development approval. The Perth 90-night rule is an approval threshold, not a permanent annual letting cap.

  • All hosted and unhosted STRA operating in Western Australia must be registered.
  • A current registration number must be displayed on applicable advertising.
  • Hosted STRA has a statewide development-approval exemption, subject to all other applicable requirements.
  • In metropolitan Perth, unhosted STRA intended for no more than 90 nights in a 12-month registration period can use the planning exemption.
  • Metropolitan Perth unhosted STRA intended to operate above 90 nights requires development approval before operating outside the exemption.
  • The state reforms do not create a general annual letting cap once every required approval and registration is in place.
Exceptions and qualifications
  • Regional and Peel local governments determine the unhosted STRA development-approval pathway under their planning schemes.
  • A local planning policy, development approval, strata by-law or other lawful control may impose additional conditions.
What this means for your property

Register the property, display the registration number and classify the operation as hosted or unhosted. For Perth unhosted STRA, decide whether to remain within the 90-night approval exemption or obtain local development approval.

What happens if you do not comply

An unregistered premises cannot lawfully be advertised or take bookings. Operating outside an approval exemption without required development approval may lead to local-government planning enforcement or a direction to cease.

Understanding the City of Joondalup short-stay market

City of Joondalup can support profitable short-stay accommodation when the right property is matched to real guest demand and operated professionally. Results vary by the exact address and offer, so we assess the property rather than relying on a suburb-wide average.

  • Identify the strongest guest segments for the address, including leisure, business, relocation, family, project and event demand.
  • Match the property type, bedroom and bathroom count, parking, access and outdoor features to those guests.
  • Build a distinctive offer for weekends, events and peak periods, then a separate value proposition for quieter dates.
  • Use professional furnishing, interior design, photography, listing copy, reviews and fast guest communication to improve conversion.
  • Adjust nightly rates, minimum stays and availability using forward demand, lead time and the property’s own booking data.

Wealth Through Property can review the address, likely guest market, legal operating model and competitive position before you commit to launch.

Demand and seasonality

Demand can change around school holidays, weekends, events, business periods and local travel patterns. Pricing and minimum stays should respond to forward booking pace, lead time, remaining availability and the property’s own conversion data.

Could an Airbnb in City of Joondalup make money?

Absolutely—many well-selected, well-presented and correctly operated properties in City of Joondalup can perform strongly as short-term rentals. The outcome depends on the complete property and offer, not the location name alone.

  • Property fit: dwelling type, bedrooms, bathrooms, layout, parking, access and usable amenities.
  • Presentation: furnishing, interior design, styling, photography and whether the listing stands out from nearby competition.
  • Legal guest capacity: the number of guests permitted by planning, fire safety, strata, insurer and any approval conditions.
  • Guest rules: whether pets, events, visitors, parking and other high-demand features can lawfully and practically be offered.
  • Seasonality: peak demand, events, weekends, corporate travel and the strength of the off-season offer.
  • Revenue strategy: dynamic pricing, minimum stays, channel mix, direct bookings, reviews and conversion.
  • Net return: management, channel, cleaning, linen, utilities, maintenance, insurance, finance, approval, levy and tax costs.
