Brisbane City Council is set to instruct almost 500 short-stay rental homes in Brisbane’s suburbs to cease operations as short-stay holiday accommodation and become long-term rentals.

Short-stay accommodation operators in low to low-medium-density residential areas will have until June 30, 2026, to make the switch to long-term letting or to apply for development approval from the council, under a new proposal put forth by the council.
