Short-term accommodation arrangements during Commonwealth Games period

In the majority of cases short-term accommodation such as Airbnb and Stayz, requires a development approval from Council in order to operate lawfully under the City Plan.

Persons who operate or use their residential properties for the purpose of short-term accommodation without a required development permit commit a development offence under the Planning Act, for which Council may take enforcement action.

Any complaints received by Council in the lead up to, during and after the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games will be actioned appropriately.
