Gold Coast Airbnb listings: Owners making a motza with former rentals, council says rules must be followed

A Gold Coast investigation found former long term rentals were being relisted as short stay accommodation, in some cases earning owners four times as much, as tourism recovered and occupancy rates reached 90 per cent. The strata peak body called for laws letting bodies corporate ban short term letting, while the council said it would enforce planning approvals. Local vacancy rates stood at 0.6 per cent.
