Short Stay Transitory Rating Category fact sheet

Why the different rates for short stay transitory properties?
Council charges a higher rate in the dollar for short stay properties based on rating equity
and to ensure everyone pays their share for the services they use. Key reasons include:


   •   Impact on infrastructure: Since more people tend to use these short stay properties,
       they tend to generate more consistent or intense use of roads, waste, and other
       community infrastructure compared to local residents.
   •   Partial or seasonal use: May be part-time or seasonal, unlike full-time commercial
       businesses.
   •   Community balance: Council wants to strike a good balance. We welcome visitors
       and it is equally important to ensure housing availability for permanent residents is
       prioritised so that all sectors contribute fairly to the infrastructure and services they
       benefit from.
