Important Update for Christchurch Homeowners: New Short-Term Rental Rules

Christchurch City Council released additional regulation (plan change 4 or pc4) to control the establishment and operation of short term visitor accommodation in Christchurch City (including Banks Peninsula). That regulation was considered by Airbnb Australia pty limited (Airbnb) to be unworkable, unduly complex and inefficient. The council’s stated objective of these rules was to mitigate the impact of short-term rentals on neighborhoods, addressing concerns such as noise, traffic, and parking.

New Short-Term Rental Rules for homeowners in Christchurch, but what do they mean? At Planz, we are here to assist you with these changes and guide you through the resource consent process, ensuring that you can continue to /or start to rent out your property as short-term accommodation. Our team of experienced planners can help you navigate the process smoothly. We have well-established templates and processes to help your application approval.
