If you might let it as a short stay
Noosa Shire short-stay rules for investors
These rules matter if you ever want to let it as a short stay, and strata by-laws can rule it out. Checked against official sources on 31 July 2026.
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 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.
Official sources: Official source recorded in Pass 10 national STRA audit
03Is there a Queensland short-stay levy or tax?NO
No dedicated statewide Queensland short-stay levy has been identified.
Official sources: Official source recorded in Pass 10 national STRA audit
04Are 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.
Official sources: Official source recorded in Pass 10 national STRA audit
05Is 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.
Official sources: Official source recorded in Pass 10 national STRA audit
06Do 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.
Official sources: Official source recorded in Pass 10 national STRA audit
07Is 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.
Official sources: Noosa Shire Council short-stay accommodation requirements
08Do 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.
Official sources: Noosa Shire Council short-stay accommodation requirements
09Does 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.
Official sources: Noosa Shire Council short-stay accommodation requirements
10Is 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.

Payment plans
Pay your buyers agent fee monthly, not all at once
A buyers agent fee usually falls due at settlement, right when your deposit, stamp duty and loan 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.
- 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 of your savings for the deposit
Spreading the fee keeps more of your cash for the deposit and buying costs, which is where it counts.
Illustrative example: on a $750,000 purchase our fee is $12,000, GST included. After a $1,000 retainer you could pay the $11,000 balance at settlement, as $3,666.67 a month for 3 months with no interest, or from $458.33 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.
