@Dan23558 . Dan, there are so many variables to your question you will need to do careful research to see if its permitted first. Suggest you start with Sunshine Coast Council development department.

Hello @Dan23558, 

Welcome to the community! It's exciting to read that you're thinking about becoming a host. Would you be welcoming guests in your home or in a separate property?

In addition to @Frances3408 and @Helen3's advice, I wanted to tag in a few other hosts based around the sunshine coast: @Bree28 @Alva1748 @Radhika25 @Pat11347 -Do any of you have more insights to share with Dan, based on your experience?

Good luck, and we'd love to hear how your project progresses! 😊
