Before you buy in Sutherland Shire
Four checks we make on every Sutherland Shire property
- The 180-night capUnhosted stays in the Shire are limited to 180 nights a year, so we test the numbers on 180 Airbnb nights plus longer stays.
- Strata by-laws in CronullaMost Cronulla sales are units. We read the by-laws and strata minutes for short-stay restrictions before you commit.
- Beach, bay and national parkWe weigh the walk to Cronulla beaches, the Port Hacking waterways and the Royal National Park against the price.
- Bushfire and coastal planningHomes near bushland can be affected by bushfire planning controls. We read the planning certificate before an offer.

The number an Airbnb has to beat
Long-term rent is your fallback
A 3-bedroom house in Sutherland Shire rents for $44,200 to $87,360 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.

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
SUTHERLAND SHIRE COUNCIL LEVEL
NO
No published Sutherland Shire Council rule has been identified that imposes a universal Airbnb-specific minimum stay or annual booking-night cap on ordinary private residential properties. Property-specific approvals can still impose conditions.
Any minimum rental periods applying to council-owned accommodation, staff housing, campsites or other authority-provided accommodation are service conditions. They are not private Airbnb restrictions.
Official sources: Official government source
06Do I need Sutherland 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.
Sutherland 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 Sutherland Shire Airbnb development-application fee?NO
There is no standard Sutherland Shire 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, solely the fee applying to that specific application should be shown.
Official sources: Official government source
08Do I need a Sutherland Shire registration or permit number?NO
Sutherland 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 Sutherland Shire charge an Airbnb registration or renewal fee?NO
No published Sutherland Shire 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 Sutherland Shire short-stay levy or tax?NO
No Sutherland 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.

The price
Airbnb buyers agent fees, worked out for your purchase
Pick your price range or type your budget. You see the fee, the retainer and every way to pay, straight away. All prices include GST.
What do you expect to pay for the property?
Your fee: $18,600 0.98% of the price, GST included. If you buy for more or less, it’s worked out again on the price you actually pay.
No interest while we search, and the first 3 months are interest-free. After you buy, interest is charged on what’s still owing, nothing more. Pay it off at any time and the interest stops: you just pay what’s left of the fee.

- Strategy session and 20-year plan · Where this property fits in your bigger plan.

The fee scale and retainer
Each rate applies to the part of the price inside its band, not the whole price. All amounts include GST.
Download the brochure (PDF). After you buy, full management is optional: $340 a month for the first 3 months, then a share of what the home earns. How do buyers agent fees compare? See buyers agent fees in Australia.
Pay monthly: see how the payment plans work3 to 36 months
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.

4.9 from 40 reviews★★★★★
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 Sutherland Shire: questions buyers ask
Can I run an Airbnb in Sutherland Shire?
Yes, if the property is registered on the NSW STRA Register and meets the fire safety standard. Because Sutherland Shire is in Greater Sydney, an unhosted Airbnb is capped at 180 nights a year; hosted stays have no cap. Strata by-laws can restrict short stays in units that are not the owner’s home.
What are the best suburbs in Sutherland Shire for an Airbnb?
On sales volume, Cronulla (169 two-bedroom unit sales in 12 months), Sutherland, Miranda and Caringbah have the deepest unit markets. For guests, Cronulla, Woolooware and Bundeena are closest to the beaches and the Royal National Park. We match the suburb to your budget and guest type.
How much does an Airbnb earn in Sutherland Shire?
It depends on the property, the season and the 180-night cap on unhosted stays. We do not quote a figure here; use the earnings estimate on this page for a property-specific estimate before you buy.
Does a buyer’s agent need a licence in NSW?
Yes. Buyer’s agents in NSW must hold a real estate licence. In NSW, offers and contracts go through a locally licensed agent, or you sign them in your own name, and we do the searching, the income modelling and the inspection arrangements for you.
How much does an Airbnb buyer’s agent cost in the Sutherland Shire?
$18,000 fixed for purchases up to $1.8M, then a sliding scale: 0.6% on the part from $1.8M to $2M, 0.57% on the part from $2M to $5M, 0.525% on the part from $5M to $10M and 0.375% on the part over $10M. A retainer from $1,000 starts the search and comes off your fee. Pay at settlement, or monthly over 3 months interest-free, or over 12, 24 or 36 months. Airbnb course access is included. All amounts include GST.
What if the Airbnb plan does not work in Sutherland Shire?
It can be leased long term. In the last 12 months 2-bedroom units in Cronulla leased for a median $750 a week with unit vacancy of 1.0%, and 3-bedroom houses in Engadine for $900 a week with house vacancy of 0.8%.
Can I pay the buyer’s agent fee in instalments?
Yes. You can pay the balance at settlement, or monthly over 3 months interest-free, or monthly over 12, 24 or 36 months. No interest is charged while we search, and you can pay it off at any time.
I live outside Sydney. Can you buy in the Sutherland Shire for me?
Yes, you do not need to live in Sydney. We shortlist Shire properties, check the numbers and the rules, and arrange an inspection before any offer by a locally licensed agent or a qualified inspector.
Show 3 more questionsShow fewer questions
Do I have to use WTP to manage the Airbnb after I buy?
No. Management is optional. Full management is $340 a month for the first 3 months, then 12.5% falling to 3% of net booking income, GST included. Our Airbnb course is free with every purchase.
Is a buyer’s agent worth it for an Airbnb in the Sutherland Shire?
It can be, if it stops one costly mistake. In the Shire 3-bedroom houses sell for a median $2,607,500 and rent for $1,370 a week (2.7% gross yield), while 2-bedroom units in Cronulla sell for a median $1,140,000.
