Anglicare Tasmania Submission to the Draft Short Stay Accommodation Bill 2018

Anglicare welcomes the draft Bill’s focus on addressing compliance issues in the short stay accommodation industry as well as increasing our understanding of the impact it is having on the broader housing market. We support the intent of each of the ten sections of the draft Bill and provide in this submission some suggestions to increase the likelihood that the Bill leads to better housing outcomes for Tasmanians. The Tasmanian Government must prioritise providing and supporting homes for Tasmanians over short term accommodation.
