Bed and Breakfast (hosted accommodation)

 A ‘Bed and Breakfast’ (B and B) is where the landowner lives on site offering a room/s to guests, for short-stay accommodation purposes, (sometimes known as a guest house).

If you would like to use your property as a B and B, Development Approval is required. Under the building code (BCA) a guest house is a Class 1B building and will need a change of use. You will need to apply for a Building Approval Certificate. 

Other approvals will also be required dependant on dwelling design and type of breakfast provided. In some cases you may need to register as a food premises.
