Can I short-term rent in City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters?

A search of the City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters website (including re-fetching the homepage, and attempting the council's specific 'Development Plan Policy' planning page this session) found no dedicated policy, fact sheet, or news page on Airbnb/Stayz-style short-term rental accommodation; the specific policy page returned HTTP 404, suggesting it has moved or been renamed. This suggests NPSP has not published a council-specific STRA restriction (e.g. a local night cap or zone-based prohibition) separate from the state Planning and Design Code's 'Short-term Accommodation' use-class provisions, which apply generally across South Australia. This could NOT be cross-checked against the Code itself (code.plan.sa.gov.au), SA legislation (legislation.sa.gov.au), Consumer and Business Services SA (cbs.sa.gov.au), the Office of the Valuer-General's short-term rental fact sheet (valuergeneral.sa.gov.au), or austlii mirrors of SA legislation (classic.austlii.edu.au, www8.austlii.edu.au), all returned HTTP 403 to automated fetch this session, and web.archive.org mirrors of code.plan.sa.gov.au could not be attempted (the fetch tool itself refuses archive.org). NPSP contains several Historic Conservation Zones/Character Areas (Norwood, College Park, St Peters, Maylands, Beulah Park) where consent pathways for various uses are sometimes stricter than standard residential zones elsewhere in the Code, whether short-term accommodation is treated differently in these specific zones/overlays remains genuinely unconfirmed after two review sessions and a broadened set of alternate routes.

Exceptions: Genuinely unverified, do not treat as a confirmed absence of restriction. Requires direct follow-up with NPSP's planning/development team, a working (human/browser) fetch of code.plan.sa.gov.au's zone-specific policy tables for the Norwood, St Peters, Maylands, College Park and Beulah Park Historic Conservation Zones, and a search of NPSP's council minutes/agenda portal (npsp.enotices.com.au), which has not been checked in any session to date.

The only SA legislative vehicle identified for a statewide STRA register/Code of Conduct is the Short Term Holiday Rental Accommodation Bill 2021 (Hon Zoe Bettison MP), introduced into the House of Assembly in June 2021. It would have required host registration with the Commissioner for Consumer and Business Affairs, a mandatory guest code of conduct, and a SACAT compensation/penalty scheme. SA Parliament's Hansard record (hansardsearch.parliament.sa.gov.au, 'Wednesday, 9 June 2021, House of Assembly') shows its debate was adjourned that day, and it is filed only under legislation.sa.gov.au's bills-archive path with no successor Act found in searches. This was resolved via WebSearch locating and quoting the primary Hansard/legislation-register pages, not by directly reading the full bill-history record, direct WebFetch of legislation.sa.gov.au, parliament.sa.gov.au's bill-status pages, and both austlii mirrors all failed (HTTP 403 or no matching content) this session, so treat as medium confidence, not certain.

Exceptions: Adjournment of debate does not itself prove the bill was defeated or permanently lapsed, it could in principle have been revived. No primary source was directly read (only located via search) confirming a final negative resolution or ruling out a later, differently-named Act. Do not use this to assert with certainty that no SA statewide STRA scheme exists; it means no primary evidence of one was found despite a real attempt.
