Empowering Councils to Balance Vibrant Tourism and Community Wellbeing
Short-term rentals play an important role in boosting local tourism, supporting economies, and showcasing communities to the world.
However, without the right data and management strategies, rapid growth can sometimes impact neighbourhood character, housing affordability, and community wellbeing.
BnbGuard helps councils across Australia support thriving tourism economies while ensuring that community needs are respected.
Our powerful short-term rental insights give you the tools to make confident, informed decisions — strengthening local businesses, protecting residential areas, and securing the future vibrancy of your region.
Real-Time Short-Term Rental Insights to Stay Ahead
In a fast-moving short-term rental market, real-time insights are essential.
BnbGuard’s technology monitors active, new, and reinstated holiday listings across major platforms including Airbnb, Booking.com, HomeAway, and Stayz.
Through our dynamic dashboards and monthly reporting, your council can:
- Track STRA activity suburb by suburb
- Respond quickly to emerging trends
- Inform compliance strategies without relying on outdated information
- Plan accommodation needs, tourism initiatives, and financial strategies with accuracy
Accurate, real-time data gives councils the agility they need to proactively manage short-term rental growth and community expectations — without overburdening resources.
Why Proactive Management Matters
While short-term rentals are a vital part of local economies, proactive management ensures that the benefits are sustainable for both tourists and residents.
Effective management strategies help councils to:
- Preserve neighbourhood character and residential amenity
- Maintain housing availability and affordability for long-term residents
- Reduce community concerns around parking, waste, and noise
- Support positive relationships between residents and holiday property owners
- Implement fair tourism levies to fund infrastructure and services
With the right balance, councils can nurture a vibrant tourism sector while protecting what makes their communities special.
