Submitters identified various residential amenity issues in their initial submissions on the Short-Term Accommodation development application and re-iterate that these issues remain following approval.
Only 33% of submitters have made further complaints to property managers since Short-Term Accommodation has commenced, of which 42% of complaints were resolved effectively.
All owners that completed the survey currently utilise the property for Short-Term Accommodation or intend to once the property is finished construction.
On average, properties are let for approximately 1/3 – 1/2 of a month.
Majority of owners chose to do Short-Term Accommodation for an investment and/or they live outside of the Region but like to visit for holidays. Several have plans to retire to the Region.
If unable to operate a Short-Term Accommodation, owners would sell the property (11), leave vacant (8) or place in long term rental pool (5).
