2022-11-14 GC Agenda - Item 4 - Attachment 1 - Short Term Accommodation Monitoring Report 2022

Further to the issue of affordable housing, it is regularly suggested that Airbnb offers necessary
additional income for home hosts, particularly retirees or those on fixed incomes. This may
have had some truth in the early days of the online short-term letting industry, however,
research does not support this theory today.
As a highly sought after and affluent coastal location, the permanent rental housing and unit
stock has provided an affordable living option for many of the region’s residents working in
industries such as retail trade, accommodation, food services and real estate services (rental
and hiring).
Traditionally, Noosa has enjoyed a healthy permanent rental market, with a diversity of
permanent rental stock offering a range of affordability and suitability.
With the uptake of tourists using online accommodation share economy platforms to book
short stays, houses and units that were traditionally offered as permanent rentals are now
participating in the tourism supply chain.
