Short Stay Rules

What are the short-stay rules at my postcode?

Enter a four-digit Australian postcode. If your council has its own rules we'll show those; otherwise you'll get your state framework.

How this works

We map your postcode to its local government area, then to the verified rules for that area. Postcodes that cross council boundaries show every matching area, so always confirm which council your street falls under. This tool identifies the rules that apply to a location; it is not legal advice.

Every jurisdiction we cover
