Thanks to everyone who joined us for our recent Learning Circle that reviewed the impact of Airbnb across the Bellingen Shire and Mid-North Coast. We also explored potential policy responses that could balance the need for short-stay accommodation and a robust long-term rental market.

We wanted to thank our two special guest speakers who helped us unpack this complex issue — data activist and Airbnb expert, Murray Cox, and his colleague and semi-retired housing academic, Prof Peter Phibbs. We have been working closely with Murray for several months to prepare this interactive map of the impact of AirBNB on the MNC for HMAG – please take a look to learn more.
