Rules that change what you should buy
Corangamite Shire short-stay rules for buyers
Taken from the same verified rules as our Corangamite Shire 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 Victoria Airbnb registration or listing number?NO
Victoria does not have a statewide Airbnb property registration or listing-number scheme.
Levy registration is a separate tax obligation. An owner or tenant accepting eligible direct bookings may need to register with the State Revenue Office, while a booking platform generally handles the levy for platform bookings.
Official sources: Official government source
03Is there a Victoria short-stay levy or tax?YES
Victoria imposes a 7.5% short-stay levy on eligible bookings of less than 28 consecutive days.
- The booking platform generally pays for platform bookings
- The owner or tenant pays for eligible direct bookings
- Principal-place-of-residence stays are generally excluded
- A stay of 28 days or more is outside the short-stay levy definition
Official sources: Official government source
04Are there different rules for hosted and unhosted Airbnbs?YES
HOSTED AIRBNB
Principal-place-of-residence accommodation is treated differently for the state levy and owners-corporation short-stay restrictions.
UNHOSTED AIRBNB
Eligible non-principal-residence short stays can be subject to the 7.5% levy. An owners corporation may ban short stays in non-principal-residence lots by special resolution, but cannot apply that ban to a lot used as the owner or occupier's principal residence.
Council registration and planning requirements remain separate.
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?NO
VICTORIA LEVEL
NO
Victoria has no statewide Airbnb minimum stay or annual booking-night cap.
The less-than-28-day threshold defines the state levy and owners-corporation short-stay provisions. It is not a minimum stay, annual cap or maximum lawful booking duration.
CORANGAMITE SHIRE COUNCIL LEVEL
NO
No published Corangamite 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 Corangamite Shire Council approval or a DA?NO
CONDITIONAL — Victoria has no blanket STRA planning-permit rule. Council must check the local planning scheme, existing lawful use and works. If a use-solely permit is required, the 2026/27 statutory application fee is $1,537; extras may apply and approval can vary.
Corangamite Shire Council checks:
- Check — Hosted or unhosted treatment: State unruly-party laws apply to short stays under 28 days in affected owners-corporation settings.
- No — Guest limit: No statewide STRA guest cap identified.
- No — Parking plan or condition: No statewide STRA parking quota.
- Check — Noise management: Guests must not create unreasonable/excessive noise or interfere with residents.
- No — Property or management plan: No statewide management-plan mandate for every STRA.
- No — Neighbour notification or contact: No statewide requirement to give neighbours a manager’s phone number.
- No — Waste plan: No statewide STRA waste plan identified.
- Check — Fire or evacuation requirements: Building/fire requirements depend on classification, works and permit.
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 Corangamite Shire Airbnb development-application fee?NO
There is no standard Corangamite Shire Airbnb development-application fee applying to every owner.
EXACT STATE FEE CLASS — $1,537 for a use-solely planning permit application in 2026/27 (89 fee units). Other classes, amendments and development costs have different fees.
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 Corangamite Shire registration or permit number?NO
Corangamite 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 Corangamite Shire charge an Airbnb registration or renewal fee?NO
No published Corangamite 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 Corangamite Shire short-stay levy or tax?NO
No Corangamite 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.

★★★★★
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 Corangamite Shire: questions buyers ask
What does an Airbnb buyer’s agent do in Corangamite Shire?
We search for and assess homes for short-stay income as well as long-term value, check the short-stay approval pathway for each address, negotiate the purchase and set the home up to take bookings.
Can you help me buy a long-term investment property instead?
Yes. We buy long-term rentals in Corangamite Shire too. For every property we show both the long-term rent and the short-stay estimate, so you can choose the strategy with the numbers in front of you.
Can I use the holiday home myself?
Yes, but personal use reduces income and some councils limit how often a home can be let when it is also your residence. We check the approval category for the exact address before you buy.
Can Wealth Through Property manage the property after I buy?
Yes. Wealth Through Property can manage the home from settlement day, or run its pricing and listings while you manage the property yourself.
