If you are ready for more details or would like to apply for Shire approval, please take a look at the following documents:

Holiday Home Issues Management
Our community has asked us to make sure that holiday homes don't impact on the way of life that we and our visitors enjoy. To do this, we require the owners of all holiday homes to:
- Complete a standard property management plan that clearly defines management and guest responsibilities
- Provide neighbouring landowners with the opportunity to comment on any new holiday home proposals
- Approve new holiday homes for one year only, with the effectiveness of management measures reviewed before approval is renewed
- Provide contact details of a designated local property manager to neighbours
- Inspect holiday homes for compliance with bushfire safety requirements annually
This has encouraged a high standard of management and property maintenance that supports our tourism industry and residents alike. If you experience an issue with a holiday home, please contact the property manager in the first instance.
