    Hi Jason!

    I run a holiday accommodation business in brisbane, and I found all the information of the legal type from my local council. Extremely helpful, although it may be a good idea to call more than once to make sure you get the same reply each time! [biggrin]
    You will find there’ll be bylaws on the number of people it can accommodate, the facilities necessary, etc etc. I found that I was able to have capacity for 6 guests without it coming under the new (for Qld) laws relating to boarding houses (fire alarms etc). Yours will most likely be different.

    Also look at your Department of State Development website, I found ours to have oodles of useful information.
    Good luck! Its a fun thing to do.
