After extensive industry consultation with our state tourism organisation, Tourism WA, a number of sector organisations and local governments, Tourism Council WA (TCWA) has drafted a specific set of best practice standards for the Holiday Home Rentals sector which will become part of the Australian Tourism Accreditation Program.

TCWA strongly believe that all Holiday Home Rentals should meet the tourism accreditation industry sector standards as a minimum requirement for operating.

TCWA’s Position on Holiday Home Rentals:

Support the WA Planning Commission Planning Bulletin 99 – Holiday Homes Guidelines;

Holiday Homes need to be licensed, or receive approval for operation, through their Local Government Authority (LGA);

LGA licensing and approval should require Holiday Homes to meet Tourism Accreditation and the Holiday Home Rental Best Practice Standards, including;

Signed Code of Conduct
Fire and Emergency Response Plans
Policy for Dealing with Complaints
Regular Inspections
