Short-term rental hosts in West End must register their property under Queensland's Short-Term Rental Accommodation (STRA) framework before accepting bookings. Properties also need to meet Queensland safety standards covering smoke alarms, pool safety (where applicable) and electrical compliance. Brisbane City Council may apply additional conditions depending on the specific property and zone. Houst guides every new host through the compliance checklist before going live. See our Queensland short-term rental rules guide for the full breakdown.
