Residents are asked to have a say on a proposed new local law to manage short-stay letting and home-hosted accommodation in Noosa Shire.

Mayor Clare Stewart said the new local law was back on the agenda after the state government deferred its plans for a state-wide framework to manage short-stay letting.

"The state has other priorities in the wake of COVID-19 but the impacts of short-stay letting on residential amenity continue to be an issue for some in our community, so we're pressing on with the introduction of the new local law to deal with it at a local level," the Mayor said.

Cr Stewart said the Short-Stay Letting Local Law would give Council a framework - above what the new planning scheme provided - to ensure property owners managed their properties and dealt with complaints.
