SHORT-TERM LETTING: THE GREAT AUSTRALIAN LOCKOUT

Aired on Thursday 7th May 2026, 6:00PM

The Sydneyist

Worsening Sydney’s war on renters is the fact that some 17,700 homes in greater Sydney are available only for short-term stays; for tourists, not locals. Which is why the City of Sydney is considering a ban on investor-based short-term letting. Deputy Lord Mayor jess Miller has long been concerned about this and tonight joins Elizabeth Farrelly as a guest on THE SYDNEYIST. Tonight at 6pm The Sydneyist 6pm only on Eastside Radio 89.7 or stream live at eastsidefm.org #thesydneyist #housingcrisis #sydney #homelessness #thesydneyist #thesydneyistradioshow #thesydneyistpodcast #sydney #affordablehousing
