Hi Jennie
You seem to know alot of what is going on in brissie!
I have an air bnb up there (2 years so far) in sth brissie and it has been very successful.
I live in sydney and come up and down for work up there so put on air bnb to cover costs and enable me to come and go vs long term ..
I have also had QPac use it for aladdin members this year for 5 months - so i have a mix going on.
In the last 24 hours i have been told by my cleaner that she found 2 cards from BCC asking for me to contact them.
These were left at the door - while she was there actually - and looks like a ‘complicance officer’
Building manager knew nothing of this and thinks someone in building not happy (must be in BC to allow access to that level) and made complaint to BCC.
My unit is super busy and i am nervous and anxious of sudden horror spot fine or desist order.
Air bnb not much help but only suggested cancel bookings coming up!
I have put listing on snooze...
I tried self assessment form and Building manager (who lives in building) says he is happy to manage the unit for a little cash, so if he manages it as a resident and there is no extra noise above normal use then i think i meet the criteria for home based bed n b... i provide basic stuff for Bkfast anyway....
What do you think? Have you heard any other things happening like this? Sounds like the whole building could apply for the short term ruling and town planners are happy to assist in that....
