QLD: The Implications of Airbnb on Subletting and Community Title by-laws

We don’t need to rehash what we have written previously about the state government’s cladding laws but you can read the article again if you want to.
The date for all buildings that are caught by the cladding regulations to effectively opt out of the regime (if that is the case) is 29 March. If you don’t opt out, your building is going to stage two, with the consequential costs, even if it is not caught.
If you haven’t looked at the cladding issue, the time is nigh.

QLD: We have a owner family who use every visitor car space. They ignore any requests to move them, and simply add yet another car, should our body Corp send them form 10. The Gold Coast Council is not interested, nor are the Police. Our Body Corp office has tried everything to get them to just use the two spaces they own, but they are not interested.
