Daniel Andrews has declared Victoria is set for"substantive, common sense" changes to housing but has refused to say what that will mean for short-term accommodation.
The Australian first consumer-facing levy would add about $42 a night to short-term accommodation on the Mornington Peninsula and $17 to stays in Melbourne. "I'm not going to rule that in or out. What I am going to say to you though is there's between 30 and 40,000 homes that are being Aribnb'd, or other platforms," he said.
"But at the same time, there's no denying that that means there are a significant number of properties that would have, 10 years ago, 15 years ago, been available for longer term rental... they're not available because of that."
