Hotels in Apartment Buildings

Many of the apartment buildings in Brisbane are "class 2" buildings -- which means they are for residential use.  To operate a hotel, the building must be a class 3 building.

A number of onsite managers operate hotels from class 2 buildings.  An example is Oaks.  Many owners are not happy with this situation.  See prior posts for example.

At M on Mary, an owner tried to stop the onsite manager operating a short term rental operation from the building, on the basis that the building was only a class 2 building.  A decision of the Tribunal said that it did not have the power to deal with this issue.  See decision.
