NSW AUstralia STRA provisions effective from 30th July 2021

[Wendy117]

The NSW Government has announced that the new statewide Short Term Rental Accommodation (STRA) planning policy  will come into effect on 30 July 2021, providing industry participants time to familiarise themselves with the new policy before it takes effect. 

This includes registration of listings and minimum fire safety standards. I am assuming, like other countries, we will not be able to list on Airbnb without a registration number after this time.

I am not sure if the requirement for interconnected smoke alarms is only for non-hosted STRA or for hosted as well - have sent an enquiry.

I am hoping that this will not involve inspections from local Councils - which traditionally could open up a myriad of other cans of worms.  

It was only a matter of time.

Sorry, I did put a link to the announcement but Airbnb have removed it as invalid html

Hi all, I'm fairly new to AirBnb.

I have a STRA number received from the NSW State Govt & it's shown on my home page.

However, I keep getting e-mails from AirBnb stating they'll cancel all my future bookings unless I add the STRA number to my listing "within hours". It's there for all to see!

Who can I seek out , as I'm not sure if it's just a generic e-mail

Thanks

Geoff
