Here Are Some of the Issues You’ll Face…
If you’re feeling overwhelmed or drowning in endless paperwork and compliance, you’re not alone. The planning system is complex and can be frustrating for homeowners.
Some local government areas will require you to put together an application before you can legally use your house a Holiday Let. Putting together a Holiday Let application can be extremely hard and tiring and dealing with council can be a nightmare, not to mention the whole process can be very expensive in both time and money. Plus, we’re pretty sure, you have better things to do… That’s where we fit in!
It’s what we do, all day, every day. With a team of 20+ highly knowledgeable and experienced town planners, property consultants, registered architect and draftsman we’re pretty good at what we do.
What Rules Do I Need to Comply With?
Having worked on over 50 Holiday Let proposals and projects over the past 25 years common compliance rules and questions to consider are
1.
Permissibility – While Holiday Lets have traditionally been in residential areas, resident concern about impact on residential amenity has often given Holiday Lets a bad name. How do you get your DA approval through council when it is likely to attract resident objection and prove it will have minimal impact on the neighbourhood?
2.
Car parking – You have fantastic ideas for your Holiday Let, however, your site is small and may not be able to accommodate the on site parking rate that council requires. How do you demonstrate in your DA that the lack of on site parking will not place extra burden on existing infrastructure? How do you get around the town planning rules and potentially avoid costly council contributions?
3.
Defining your development – Did you know your Holiday Let may actually be considered a form of tourist and visitor accommodation? What may seem like very minor details in your business plan could make the difference in the type of approval required, fire safety requirements, disabled access/facilities.
4.
Licensing – Your Holiday Let may need a DA, however there are likely to be other approvals and licenses outside of the council DA requirements. The NSW Government is implementing a new regulatory framework for short-term Holiday Let accommodation. This includes a state-wide planning framework, a mandatory Code of Conduct and changes to strata legislation. The NSW Government is also considering the introduction of a new industry-led property register. These are just some of the matters you will need consider as part of your proposal and elaborate upon in the DA to council.

We could make up a fantasied timeframe to wow you, but to be straight up the length of getting an approval is dependent on the project development type, the local council, who examines your application within council, location of the property within the local council and on the property itself, and the list goes on. The approval process will no doubt take longer than you expect because we are dealing with administrative red tape.
But what our team has done has studied the 30,491+ properties we have been involved in and analysed the 300+ flight years of team council approval experience to create a formidable system.
