Business launched to support STA hosts

A new local business has been launched in response to Noosa Council’s new local Short Term Accommodation (STA) law.

Set up by long time locals Craig Chicko Vella and Andrew McCarthy, Good Night Noosa, aims to support the law role requiring STA hosts to supply Council with a 24-hour contact located within 20km from the property to resolve complaints.

“There has been much debate about the amount of STA properties in Noosa and its effect on residents’ life-style,“ Mr McCarthy said.

“Having grown up on Weyba Road and Gympie Terrace in the ’70s, surrounded by holiday homes and caravan parks, Noosa has always had a lot of residential holiday accommodation.

“It is part of Noosa’s charm and is unlikely to decline, but it has also caused frustration for locals.“

Council’s new law seeks to regulate the local STA industry to ameliorate problems experienced by Noosa locals, including noise and light spill.

“Our role at Good Night Noosa is to work for STA hosts, helping them comply with Noosa’s new local law and resolve problems causing concerns for Noosa’s locals,“ Mr McCarthy said.

For more information call Chicko Vella on 0409 274 788, Andrew McCarthy on 0418 887 540 or visit facebook.com/goodnightnoosa
