It depends on whether your stay is hosted or unhosted, and on your property's zone under the Gold Coast City Plan.
If you are the owner-occupier living on-site during guest stays with four or fewer guests, you generally do not need formal planning approval. If the entire property is available to guests and you are not on-site, you typically need a Material Change of Use (MCU) approval from Gold Coast Council. Properties in tourism-zoned areas such as Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach often have a simpler assessment pathway. Use the Gold Coast City Plan interactive mapping tool to check your zone before listing.
