“The Tasmanian government has taken a step in the right direction with its policy on short term rental accommodation. However, we remain concerned that its impact will limit the growth of tourism in regional Tasmania, where accommodation options are limited and the industry is underdeveloped.
Short term rentals play a vital role in helping the State reach its goal of 1.5 million annual visitors by 2020. Regional Tasmania needs support and ambition to help achieve this, not red tape.
We look forward to working closely with the government to ensure implementation of the policy relieves regional homeowners of unnecessary burdens.”
Stayz is Australia’s leading online marketplace for short-term rentals with over 45,000 listings, mostly in these regional communities across Australia.
