Before you buy in Byron

Four checks we make on every Byron property

  • Inside or outside a precinctThe mapped Byron Bay town centre and Brunswick Heads precincts allow 365-day non-hosted letting. We check the exact lot against the Housing SEPP map before you pay a precinct premium.
  • Plan for 60 daysOutside the precincts, non-hosted income is limited to 60 days a year (bookings of 21+ days don't count). We model hosted, mid-term and long-term options for each property.
  • Secondary dwellings and strataGranny flats approved under the 2011–2019 affordable rental rules can't be used, and some strata by-laws ban non-hosted letting. We check approvals and by-laws.
  • Flood and coastal hazardsParts of Byron Shire carry flood and coastal hazard mapping. We check planning overlays and insurance before you commit.

Reading it as a short-stay buyer
  • Rental vacancy under 1% means a strong long-term rental fallback if you ever stop short-stay letting.
  • A low owner-occupier share and lots of new approvals can mean more competing rentals. Check both.
  • Days on market shows how quickly you could sell. Fewer days means an easier exit.

The number an Airbnb has to beat

Long-term rent is your fallback

A 3-bedroom house in Byron rents for $37,700 to $97,500 a year long term, depending on the suburb. A short stay makes sense when it clears that comfortably after cleaning, platform and management costs, which is why we test both before you buy.

Follows the Houses / Units and bedroom buttons above. With several bedroom counts picked, each suburb shows the sales-weighted average of those sizes. Your suburb is shown first, then the 4 highest gross yields.

Rules that change what you should buy

Byron short-stay rules for buyers

Taken from the same verified rules as our Byron management page, checked against official sources on 31 July 2026. We build the approval strategy into the purchase.

Open a question for the detail and the official source

The current state, council and property checks, with official sources. Tap a topic to open it.

01Owner checksOwnership, finance, insurance and authority to operate
  • Confirm ownership, finance, insurance and authority to operate the property as short-term accommodation.
02Do I need a New South Wales Airbnb registration or listing number?YES

Every hosted and non-hosted residential STRA property must be registered on the NSW Planning Portal before it is advertised.

The PID-STRA registration number must be displayed on the listing and the registration must be renewed annually.

  • Initial registration fee: $65
  • Annual renewal fee: $25
  • Registration applies to both hosted and non-hosted residential STRA
  • Approved traditional tourist accommodation categories are dealt with separately

Official sources: Official government source

03Is there a New South Wales short-stay levy or tax?NO

No current New South Wales tax or levy specifically imposed on ordinary Airbnb or short-stay bookings has been identified.

Official sources: Official government source

04Are there different rules for hosted and unhosted Airbnbs?YES

HOSTED AIRBNB

Hosted STRA can operate for up to 365 days, subject to registration, fire-safety, planning and property requirements.

UNHOSTED AIRBNB

Non-hosted STRA day limits depend on the location. The ordinary limit is 180 days in Greater Sydney, Ballina and specified mapped areas, 60 days in most of Byron Shire, and up to 365 days outside prescribed areas or within an applicable mapped exception.

Bookings of 21 or more consecutive days to the same person or group are not counted toward the applicable non-hosted annual cap.

Any council-specific approval or operating requirement belongs under the council-level section.

Official sources: Official government source

05Is there a minimum stay or annual night cap?YES

NEW SOUTH WALES LEVEL

YES — LOCATION AND HOSTING STATUS DEPENDENT

  • Hosted STRA: no annual day cap below 365 days
  • Non-hosted STRA: 180-day cap in Greater Sydney, Ballina and specified mapped areas
  • Most of Byron Shire: 60-day cap, subject to mapped 365-day precincts
  • Other NSW areas: up to 365 days under the exempt pathway
  • Bookings of 21 or more consecutive days are excluded from cap counting
  • No universal NSW minimum number of nights per booking

BYRON SHIRE COUNCIL LEVEL

YES

A current local numeric pathway applies.

  • Hosted annual limit — 365 days per year; no NSW day cap for hosted STRA.
  • Non-hosted cap — 60 days in each 365-day period for most of the LGA; 365 days in the two mapped precincts.

Check the exact address and every existing approval or endorsed management plan before setting stay rules.

Official sources: Official government source

06Do I need Byron Shire Council approval or a DA?NO

USUALLY NO DA — eligible residential STRA can use the NSW Housing SEPP exempt pathway if every standard, registration requirement and applicable day limit is met. DA/consent review is required outside that pathway. Fee is statutory/proposal-specific. Approval is never assured.

Byron Shire Council checks:

  • Check — Hosted or unhosted treatment: The NSW Code of Conduct and STRA fire-safety standard apply to hosted and non-hosted residential STRA.
  • No — Guest limit: No general statewide STRA guest cap.
  • No — Parking plan or condition: No statewide STRA parking quota.
  • Check — Noise management: Mandatory Code of Conduct applies.
  • No — Property or management plan: No statewide management-plan requirement for every exempt STRA.
  • No — Neighbour notification or contact: No statewide rule requiring direct neighbour contact details for every STRA.
  • No — Waste plan: No statewide STRA waste-management plan.
  • Check — Fire or evacuation requirements: Statewide STRA fire standard: evacuation plan/information, interconnected smoke alarms and required fire equipment; registration confirms compliance.

General noise, nuisance, parking, building, fire, strata, title, lease and insurance requirements still apply even when there is no blanket authority approval.

Official sources: Official government source

07Is there a Byron Airbnb development-application fee?NO

There is no standard Byron Airbnb development-application fee applying to every owner.

VARIABLE — where a DA is required, the statutory NSW fee is calculated under Schedule 4 of the EP&A Regulation and invoiced through the portal; exact fee depends on application type/cost.

If an individual property requires a development application, the fee applying to that specific application should be shown.

Official sources: Official government source

08Do I need a Byron registration or permit number?NO

Byron Shire Council does not have a published Airbnb-specific registration or permit-number scheme separate from any state or territory requirement and from a property-specific development approval.

Official sources: Official government source

09Does Byron charge an Airbnb registration or renewal fee?NO

No published Byron Airbnb-specific registration, listing, annual renewal, inspection or operating-permit fee has been identified. General authority fees unrelated to Airbnb must not be displayed as short-stay fees.

Official sources: Official government source

10Is there a Byron short-stay levy or tax?NO

No Byron Shire Council tax or levy specifically charged on Airbnb or short-stay bookings has been identified.

This is separate from the state or territory levy answer under number 03.

Payment plans

Pay your Airbnb buyers agent fee monthly, not all at once

A buyers agent fee usually falls due at settlement, right when the deposit, stamp duty, furniture and setup costs land. We let you spread it. You start with a retainer from $1,000, which comes off your fee, then choose how to pay the rest.

  • Pay at settlement

    Nothing more until you buy. The balance is paid at settlement, with nothing added.

  • 3 months, interest-free

    Split the balance into three monthly payments, with no interest at any point.

  • 12, 24 or 36 months

    Smaller monthly payments. No interest while we search, and the first 3 months are interest-free. After you buy, 0.5% a month applies to what is still owing.

  • Pay it off early, any time

    Clear the balance whenever you like and the interest stops. You pay what is left of the fee, nothing more.

  • Worked out on the price you pay

    Payments start on your estimated price. When you buy, the fee is worked out again on the actual price, and anything paid over is refunded.

  • More cash to set the home up

    Spreading the fee keeps more of your cash for the deposit, furniture and setup, so the home can start taking bookings sooner.

Illustrative example: on a $1.5M Airbnb purchase our fee is $18,000, GST included. After a $1,500 retainer you could pay the $16,500 balance at settlement, as $5,500 a month for 3 months with no interest, or from $687.50 a month on the 24-month plan. Use the Airbnb buyers agent fee calculator to see every option for your price.

    I’ve bought two properties through Scott and both have been excellent buys. He found great value in strong locations, and the growth has been solid. Because of the results from those first two, I’m now in a position to buy another two investment properties and I’ll definitely be using Scott again.

    Dean Erickson · Google review · 2025

    Scott has been awesome throughout my journey. We bought our first investment property with Scott’s help and professional guidance. Would recommend him to any new buyers looking to kick start their investment portfolio.

Common questions

Buying an Airbnb in Byron: questions buyers ask

Can I run an Airbnb in Byron Shire?

Yes, but non-hosted stays are capped at 60 days a year across most of the shire. The Byron Bay town centre and Brunswick Heads precincts allow non-hosted stays up to 365 days, hosted stays have no cap, and bookings of 21 days or more don’t count toward the cap. Every home must be on the NSW STRA Register.

What are the best Byron Shire suburbs for an Airbnb investment?

It depends on the cap. Properties inside the Byron Bay town centre and Brunswick Heads precincts can be let without a host all year. Brunswick Heads 3-bedroom houses sold at a median $1,635,000 and Byron Bay 3-bedroom houses at $1,600,000. Outside the precincts, Mullumbimby ($1,120,000) and Ocean Shores ($1,200,000) 3-bedroom houses suit buyers who plan hosted or long-term use.

What does an Airbnb earn in Byron Shire?

We don’t publish a nightly rate or annual Airbnb income for Byron Shire here because we have no sourced figure we can stand behind. Before you buy, WTP prepares a property-specific estimate from current comparable listings and the local rules. Outside the precincts, any estimate has to allow for the 60-day non-hosted cap.

Does a buyer’s agent need a licence in NSW?

Yes. In NSW a buyer’s agent must hold the right real estate licence. WTP is a licensed buyer’s agent in Queensland and New South Wales, so we can act for you directly here in NSW. In other states we work through licensed partner agents.

What are WTP’s buyer’s agent fees?

Our current buyer’s agent fees are a fixed $18,000 (GST included) for purchases up to $1.8M. Above that it is 0.6% on the part to $2M, 0.57% to $5M, 0.525% to $10M and 0.375% above. A retainer from $1,000, credited to the fee and refundable in full within 7 days, starts the search. The fee is confirmed in writing before you engage us.

What if I rent it long term instead?

Median weekly rents for 3-bedroom houses were $1,200 in Byron Bay and Suffolk Park, $950 in Mullumbimby and $930 in Ocean Shores. House vacancy was 1.0% in Byron Bay and 0.7% in Mullumbimby.

Can I pay the buyer’s agent fee in instalments?

Yes. A retainer from $1,000, credited to the fee and refundable in full within 7 days, starts the search. The rest of the fee can be paid monthly instead of all at once, and the plan is confirmed in writing before you sign.

I live outside Byron Shire. Can you still buy an Airbnb there for me?

Yes. Every property is inspected before an offer, and you get the numbers, photos and checks by email or video call. You do not need to travel to Byron to buy.

Show 3 more questionsShow fewer questions
Is an Airbnb buyer’s agent worth it in Byron Bay?

A 3-bedroom house has a $1,600,000 median in Byron Bay and $1,120,000 in Mullumbimby, and a 60-day cap applies outside two precincts, so a wrong purchase is expensive. An Airbnb buyer’s agent checks the cap, the precinct map, earnings and the long-term rent fallback before you offer.

Which Byron Shire suburbs do you search?

Byron Bay, Suffolk Park, Brunswick Heads, Mullumbimby, Ocean Shores, Bangalow, Broken Head and New Brighton, plus other suburbs across Byron Shire. We match the suburb to your budget and how you plan to use the home.

How do I register an Airbnb on the NSW STRA Register in Byron Shire?

Every dwelling used for short-term rental must be registered on the NSW STRA Register through the NSW Planning Portal, with a $65 fee for new registrations and a $25 annual renewal. The dwelling must meet the state fire safety standards. We check eligibility before you offer.
