Rules that change what you should buy

Wanneroo short-stay rules for buyers

Taken from the same verified rules as our Wanneroo management page, checked against official sources on 19 October 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 Western Australia Airbnb registration or listing number?YES

Hosted and unhosted residential STRA must be registered on the Western Australian STRA Register before advertising or taking bookings.

Initial registration fee: $250
Annual renewal fee: $100
Registration term: 12 months
The registration number must appear in applicable advertising

Official sources: Western Australian Government — registration and fees

03Is there a Western Australia short-stay levy or tax?$250, then $100 a year

No dedicated statewide Western Australian short-stay levy has been identified.

Official sources: Western Australian Government — registration and fees

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

HOSTED AIRBNB

Hosted STRA is development-approval exempt throughout Western Australia, but must still be registered.

UNHOSTED AIRBNB

In Perth metropolitan local governments, unhosted STRA can use a development-approval exemption for up to 90 non-consecutive nights in the registration year when the conditions are met. Development approval is required before operating above that threshold.

Outside Perth metropolitan local governments, including Peel, the local planning scheme determines the unhosted approval pathway.

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

Official sources: Local Planning Policy 4.22 – Unhosted Short-Term Rental Accommodation

05Is there a minimum stay or annual night cap?NO

WESTERN AUSTRALIA LEVEL

NO — THE 90-NIGHT FIGURE IS NOT AN OPERATING CAP

Western Australia does not impose a statewide annual Airbnb letting cap.

The Perth 90-night rule is a development-approval exemption threshold
Operation above 90 nights can continue where the required approval is obtained
No universal WA minimum number of nights per booking has been identified
A council approval or endorsed management plan can impose property-specific stay conditions

CITY OF WANNEROO LEVEL

NO

No published City of Wanneroo 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: Western Australian Government — registration and fees

06Do I need City of Wanneroo approval or a DA?YES

HOSTED: no DA statewide. UNHOSTED: no DA up to 90 non-consecutive nights/12 months; DA required above 90 nights. Common change-of-use base $295 plus extras. Approval can vary.

City of Wanneroo checks:

Check — Hosted or unhosted treatment: Hosted STRA is DA-exempt statewide.
Check — Guest limit: Unhosted STRA category: maximum 12 people per night, subject to any lower planning condition.
Check — Parking plan or condition: Management plan must explain where guests may park and how parking information is communicated.
Check — Noise management: Management plan must include guest behaviour/noise control, complaints process and Code of Conduct displayed at the property.
Check — Property or management plan: Mandatory for unhosted STRA DA, covering guests, minimum stay, check-in/out, noise, complaints, local contact, Code of Conduct, parking, waste, bushfire/emergency and strata.
Check — Neighbour notification or contact: Owner/manager complaints phone number must be provided to immediate neighbours.
Check — Waste plan: Management plan must cover rubbish, bins and collection timing.
Check — Fire or evacuation requirements: Bushfire safety/emergency evacuation required where relevant; ordinary building/fire rules still apply.

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

Official sources: Short-term rental accommodation – City of Wanneroo

07Is there a City of Wanneroo Airbnb development-application fee?YES

A development-application fee applies when the property requires a DA, but it is not a universal fee charged to every Airbnb owner.

COMMON STATUTORY CHANGE-OF-USE BASE — $295. Advertising/referral and council-specific charges may be added. Retrospective approval commonly adds twice the ordinary fee, producing three times the ordinary application fee.

Official sources: City of Wanneroo Planning Fee Schedule (effective 8 July 2026)

08Do I need a City of Wanneroo registration or permit number?NO

City of Wanneroo 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: Local Planning Policy 4.22 – Unhosted Short-Term Rental Accommodation

09Does City of Wanneroo charge an Airbnb registration or renewal fee?NO

No published City of Wanneroo 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: City of Wanneroo Planning Fee Schedule (effective 8 July 2026)

10Is there a City of Wanneroo short-stay levy or tax?NO

No City of Wanneroo 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.

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 Wanneroo: questions buyers ask

What does an Airbnb buyer’s agent do in City of Wanneroo?

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 City of Wanneroo 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.
