Media Release - Parties should consult with short-term accommodation for better policy outcomes
The Australian Short Term Rental Association (ASTRA) expresses its readiness to collaborate with either a Rockliff Liberal Government or a White Labor Government in Tasmania to formulate policies regarding short-term rental accommodation. ASTRA voices disappointment in the lack of consultation from major parties in shaping election policies, asserting that current proposals overlook the industry's concerns and fail to address the housing crisis. ASTRA's CEO, Mitch Price, highlights the essential function of short-term rentals in providing affordable options and enabling guests to attend local events, support family, or explore Tasmania. The association urges policymakers to consider the broader economic and social impacts of their decisions on both homeowners and Tasmania's visitor economy.
