Did You Know

Whitsunday Regional Council is proposing changes to the Whitsunday Planning Scheme 2017 to better manage short-term accommodation, like Airbnbs, within the Low-Density Residential zones.
The aim of these changes is to strike a better balance between homes for locals and holiday stays for visitors.

We’ve mapped out 10 precincts across the region where STA may be supported, based on things like community feedback, existing use and historical holiday areas.
Head to Council’s online engagement space, yoursay.whitsundayrc.qld.gov.au to find out more and to have your say!
