Lane Property charges a single percentage of accommodation revenue — the amount guests pay for the stay itself. There are no setup fees, no per-booking surcharges, no premium tiers. The exact percentage depends on your property and location and is quoted with the free 24-hour rental assessment. ### How much more do short-term rentals earn vs long-term leasing in Queensland? Lane-managed properties across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast earn an average of 1.4 to 2.1 times the equivalent long-term lease yield. The actual gap depends on suburb, property type and seasonality. ### What's the typical Queensland Airbnb income? Brisbane inner-city apartments typically earn around $50,000–$70,000 annually with high year-round occupancy. Gold Coast beachfront properties often achieve $70,000–$100,000 with strong summer and event-driven peaks. Sunshine Coast and Noosa premium properties can reach $80,000–$100,000+. The free 24-hour rental assessment provides a property-specific forecast. ### Does Brisbane require an Airbnb permit? The previously planned BCC short-stay levy was paused by Lord Mayor Schrinner in May 2026. ### What are Noosa's short-term rental rules? Noosa Shire operates Queensland's strictest STR regulations. Properties must be registered under the Shire's local law, certain residential zones have density caps limiting new STR registrations, a guest code of conduct must be displayed, and a 24/7 local contact (within 20km) is required. ### Is there a state-level short-term rental tax in Queensland? No. Queensland does not have a state-level short-stay tax or statewide night limits — unlike Victoria, which introduced a 7.5% levy in 2025. Individual councils can introduce their own measures. ### How is Lane Property different from MadeComfy, Airkeeper, or Hometime? Single-tier transparent fee instead of tiered structures with premium upgrades. Founder-led service with replies from the actual team rather than a national call centre. Local presence across the Gold Coast, Brisbane and Sunshine Coast with on-the-ground property managers. ### What is the Brisbane 2032 Olympics impact on short-term rentals? The 2032 Brisbane Games are expected to drive significant short-stay demand across South East Queensland from roughly 2030 to 2033, with the Games themselves running July–August 2032. Cross River Rail, the Gabba precinct rebuild and second M1 infrastructure are already lifting long-term property values along the SEQ corridor.
