QUEENSLAND REQUIREMENTS
02 Do I need a Queensland Airbnb registration or listing number? NO +
Queensland does not have a statewide Airbnb property register or listing-number scheme.
Council planning approvals, local-law approvals and licences are separate and must be checked under the responsible council.
03 Is there a Queensland short-stay levy or tax? NO +
No dedicated statewide Queensland short-stay levy has been identified.
04 Are there different rules for hosted and unhosted Airbnbs? NO +
NO — NOT THROUGH ONE STATEWIDE OPERATING SCHEDULE
Queensland does not impose one statewide hosted/unhosted Airbnb operating-condition schedule or annual night cap.
Councils can distinguish between home-hosted and whole-property short-stay uses through their planning schemes, local laws and approval conditions. The council-level section therefore controls the local answer.
Any council-specific approval or operating requirement belongs under the council-level section.
05 Is there a minimum stay or annual night cap? NO +
QUEENSLAND LEVEL
NO
Queensland has no universal statewide Airbnb minimum stay, 90-day limit, 180-day limit or annual booking-night cap.
Council planning schemes, local laws and property-specific approvals can impose local conditions.
NOOSA SHIRE COUNCIL LEVEL
YES
CURRENT 2025 PLANNING RULES — qualified pathway threshold, not a simple universal cap.
- Hosted annual limit — HOME-HOSTED ACCOMMODATION is a separate home-based-business/local-law pathway; no blanket hosted 60-night cap is stated in the short-term accommodation guide.
- Council annual night cap — 60 NIGHTS + 4 OCCASIONS/YEAR is an accepted-development ceiling for occasional entire-principal-residence use, not a universal operating prohibition.
- Permit context — Local-law approval is generally required in addition to planning approval.
Check the exact address and every existing approval or endorsed management plan before setting stay rules.
NOOSA SHIRE COUNCIL REQUIREMENTS
06 Do I need Noosa Shire Council approval or a DA? YES +
CONDITIONAL DA + usually separate local-law approval. Establish planning lawfulness first; the 2026/27 local-law fee is $329–$1,748 by property/category and is not the DA fee. Neither payment guarantees approval.
Noosa Shire Council checks:
- Check — Hosted or unhosted treatment: Short-stay and home-hosted uses have separate approval categories.
- No — Guest limit: No single council-wide guest number on the local-law page.
- Check — Parking plan or condition: Occupant vehicles, boats, trailers and similar must be accommodated without nuisance; onsite parking must be used where provided.
- Check — Noise management: Use must not harm residential amenity or cause nuisance.
- Check — Property or management plan: Approval conditions and guest Code of Conduct apply.
- Check — Neighbour notification or contact: Contact person available 24/7, based within 20 km and responding within 30 minutes.
- Check — Waste plan: Bins must be hygienic; kerbside containers no more than 24 hours before/after collection; non-kerbside waste must go to an approved facility.
- Check — Fire or evacuation requirements: Application requires correct building-class evidence, current smoke-alarm electrical certification and pool-safety certification where relevant.
General noise, nuisance, parking, building, fire, strata, title, lease and insurance requirements still apply even when there is no blanket authority approval.
07 Is there a Noosa Shire 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.
DA fee is proposal-specific. Separate 2026/27 local-law application fees include: house $1,748; principal-residence house limited to 4 occasions/60 days $329; unit $455; limited unit $329; home-hosted $329; managed complex $450; limited managed complex $329. These are not DA fees.
08 Do I need a Noosa Shire registration or permit number? YES +
Noosa generally requires a separate local-law approval after planning lawfulness is established. The approval category differs for short-stay, limited principal-residence use, units, home-hosted accommodation and managed complexes.
09 Does Noosa Shire charge an Airbnb registration or renewal fee? YES +
The verified 2026/27 local-law application fees range from $329 to $1,748, and annual renewal fees range from $50 to $800, depending on the property and approval category. These are local-law approval fees, not DA fees.
10 Is there a Noosa Shire short-stay levy or tax? NO +
No Noosa 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.

Noosa Shire sits within the sunshine-coast Airbnb and short-term rental market. The verified service area includes Black Mountain, Boreen Point, Castaways Beach, Como, Cooran, Cooroibah, Cooroy, Cooroy Mountain and surrounding localities.
Guest demand, achievable rates and booking patterns depend on the exact property, lawful guest capacity, presentation, parking, seasonality, local events and proximity to the area’s visitor, business or family-travel demand drivers. Dependable cleaning, maintenance and emergency support must be confirmed before onboarding.
Demand and seasonality
Demand can change across weekends, school holidays, public holidays, local events and quieter periods. Pricing and minimum-stay settings should be reviewed throughout the year rather than treated as fixed.
Could an Airbnb in Noosa Shire make money?
A suitable Noosa Shire property can perform strongly when its layout, condition, amenities, guest capacity and location match the local short-stay market. Results are property-specific and should be assessed using comparable listings, current booking demand, operating costs and the property’s lawful use.
