Short Term Rental Accommodation
INFORMATION SHEET - Short Term Rental Accommodation
With a growing number of tourist attractions in the Shire such as the Bindoon Mountain Bike Park, wineries, restaurants, and other events and attractions, there is a shortfall of accommodation options which is limiting the duration of visitor stays and money spent in the Shire. Additional accommodation options will assist in the economic development of the Shire.
Short term accommodation in the form of holiday houses, bed and breakfasts, farmstays and chalets, are supported where it can be demonstrated they will not have a negative impact on surrounding residents and the environment, such as from traffic impacts, additional noise, clearing of native vegetation, and increased bushfire risk.
