Greater Geelong City short-stay rules at a glance
Direct answers first. Open a question for the detail and the official source.
NODo I need a Victoria Airbnb registration or listing number?
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.
YESIs there a Victoria short-stay levy or tax?
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
YESAre there different rules for hosted and unhosted Airbnbs?
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.
NOIs there a minimum stay or annual night cap?
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.
GREATER GEELONG CITY COUNCIL LEVEL
NO
No published Greater Geelong City 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.
NODo I need Greater Geelong City Council approval or a DA?
CONDITIONAL — Victoria has no blanket STRA planning-permit rule. Council must check the local planning scheme, existing lawful use and works. If a use-only permit is required, the 2026/27 statutory application fee is $1,537; extras may apply and approval is not guaranteed.
Greater Geelong City 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.

EXACT STATE FEE CLASS — $1,537 for a use-only 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, only the fee applying to that specific application should be shown.
NODo I need a Greater Geelong City registration or permit number?

NODoes Greater Geelong City charge an Airbnb registration or renewal fee?
