Homelessness NSW is calling for a 7.5% tax on holiday rentals to fund homelessness services and push properties back into long-term rental markets—potentially raising $50 million annually. Inspired by Victoria’s successful similar tax that raised $85 million, the proposal faces pushback from short-term rental operators who argue these properties are never affordable for families and employ thousands. Meanwhile, NSW’s housing strategy focuses on building 80,000+ homes, while locals like Louise Dwyer and Mike Crouch face rising rents and temporary housing, making urgent solutions more critical than ever.
