Media Release — New VIC STRA laws clear first hurdle, ASTRA calls for amendments to legislation
The Legislative Assembly of the Victorian Parliament has overwhelmingly passed the Short Stay Levy Bill 2024 thanks to a decisive Labor majority. ASTRA advocates for a statewide register to ensure consistency and efficiency in short-term rental regulations, as opposed to the government’s preference for council-level management. We propose a fairer 2-3% levy without caps on the number of nights, emphasising that restrictions would harm tourism and local businesses.
