Noosa Council’s Short-Stay Letting Local Law which came into effect on Tuesday 1 February is about protecting residential amenity for Noosa’s residents, not about stopping guests clapping, singing or cheering as reported by some media outlets, Mayor Clare Stewart said.
The law has been controversial in its creation and the response to it has already been mixed.
Sunshine Beach resident Julia Craddock questioned the costs of the new laws on ratepayers, doesn’t think the controls go far enough and wants short-term accommodation (STA) guests to follow the same rules as hotel guests.
“Cut through all the STA industry hysteria with one simple question. Can you do that in a hotel? And if the answer is no, then why the confected outrage?“ she said.
