04Approval and lawful-use confirmationWhat the verified evidence says and what must be confirmed for the exact propertyDepends on the property and model
- WA planning rules distinguish hosted and unhosted STRA.
- Hosted STRA has a statewide development-approval exemption.
- Unhosted STRA outside an applicable exemption requires development approval where the use is not otherwise permitted.
- The responsible local government assesses the application under its planning scheme and any local STRA policy.
- Where development approval is required, lodge the application with the responsible local government before operating outside the applicable exemption.
- The council may require a management plan, site and floor plans, proposed guest capacity, parking, waste, noise and complaints controls, local-manager details and evidence of neighbour engagement.
- The assessment and final conditions are council- and property-specific.
Wealth Through Property can liaise with Western Australia Outback South Council and relevant planning professionals, help confirm the planning pathway and coordinate the documents required for an application. Western Australia Outback South Council remains responsible for deciding whether approval is required and whether it is granted.

05Council requirementsLocal-government variation across Western Australia Outback South
- Western Australia Outback South Council is the responsible local authority for this service-area page. The council-specific points below apply in addition to state and property requirements.
- Confirm the exact address, proposed hosted or non-hosted use and existing consent history with Western Australia Outback South Council.
- Obtain every planning, building, local-law or other approval required for the proposed operating model before commencing.
- Follow all property-specific conditions for guests, noise, parking, waste, safety, complaints and local management.
Wealth Through Property can liaise with Western Australia Outback South Council on the owner’s behalf, help confirm the planning pathway for the property, coordinate the information required by council and help prepare the property for compliant operation. Where an approval is required, we can assist with council communication and the approval process. Council remains responsible for deciding whether approval is required and whether it is granted.
Verification status and checked dates are shown for each section on this page
06Hosted or unhosted night limitsOperating caps for the hosted or unhosted modelNo general night cap
- Hosted STRA is exempt from requiring development approval across Western Australia, but registration is still required.
- The 90-night exemption for unhosted STRA applies solely in the Perth metropolitan area (30 named local governments). This area is outside that list, so each local government here decides whether unhosted STRA needs development approval.
- Confirm the requirement with the council for the exact address before you register or take unhosted bookings.
- The 90-night figure is a development-approval threshold, not an annual letting cap, and the state reforms set no general annual night cap.
Wealth Through Property can track counted nights, monitor the applicable registration period and optimise the permitted booking inventory without exceeding the applicable operating limit.
Official sources: Planning Western Australia — STRA planning reforms
Last verified: 27 July 2026
07Minimum-stay and longer-booking rulesMinimum nights, maximum stays and longer-booking exclusionsNo state minimum
- No general WA minimum-night requirement is created by the state STRA reforms.
- STRA covers arrangements of up to three months; longer occupation may fall under residential-tenancy rules depending on the arrangement.
- A local planning policy, development approval, strata rules or the property management plan may impose a property-specific minimum or maximum stay.
Wealth Through Property can introduce compliant longer-stay and mid-term strategies and correctly record any qualifying longer-booking exclusion.
Official sources: Planning Western Australia — STRA planning reforms
Last verified: 27 July 2026
08Government short-stay tax or levySeparate state levy, rate, liable party and stay-length exclusions
- Apply any stated short-stay levy to the correct liable party, booking channel, stay and reporting period.
- Where the central rule record does not state a separate dedicated state short-stay levy, do not transfer a levy from another jurisdiction.
- Income tax, GST, land tax, ordinary state charges and council rates can still apply independently.
No dedicated state short-stay levy has been identified for Western Australia. Wealth Through Property can help maintain booking records and refer owners to an accountant for advice about GST, income tax, land tax, council rates and other property-specific obligations.
Official sources: Western Australian Government — state taxes

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.
Included
- Your own buyers agent · One person who knows your brief from start to finish.
- Strategy session and 20-year plan · Where this property fits in your bigger plan.
- Airbnb data software · Real occupancy and nightly-rate data for every area we test.
- Unlimited reviews and negotiations · As many properties as it takes to get the right one.
- Off-market and pre-market access · Where available.
- Airbnb course access · Learn how the business works, free.
Good to know
- The retainer comes off your fee, never on top of it.
- Pay the balance at settlement, or spread it with a monthly payment plan.
- Airbnb course access is included with every purchase.
- All fees include GST.
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.

Thanks for helping me Scott. You made buying in another state easy and I wouldn’t had the time to do it myself

Common questions
Buying an Airbnb in Western Australia Outback South: questions buyers ask
What does an Airbnb buyer’s agent do in Western Australia Outback South?
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 Western Australia Outback South 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.
