Short-term letting via Airbnb is an active dispute issue — the 2025 ACAT ruling on Crown Lease residential covenants is directly relevant to Inner North and Inner South residential blocks. New high-rise developments adding schemes along the Northbourne Avenue corridor. Older 1960s–1980s schemes in Reid, Watson, and Lyneham face major capital works backlogs. Mixed-use buildings (ground-floor retail, upper-floor residential) require managers experienced in layered owners corporation structures.
