Guidelines for Bed and Breakfast Establishments
Development Control Plan No. 11

1.0 Introduction
Bed and Breakfast Establishments provide an alternative form of tourist accommodation within the Wyong Shire Council area. They offer a unique form of short-term accommodation giving visitors the opportunity to enjoy homestyle hospitality and the many attractions of the Shire and surrounding environment.

This Development Control Plan aims to provide assistance to people interested in establishing and operating Bed and Breakfast Establishments and to ensure that the standard of accommodation is attractive to visitors and enhances the reputation of Wyong Shire as a tourist destination.

This Plan also seeks to maintain the amenity and character of the areas where Bed and Breakfast Establishments are permitted. Council recognises the importance of ensuring that people visiting the region have range of accommodation options, while preserving the environment and residential amenity for local residents. It is recognised that it is the existing amenity and character which attracts both residents and visitors to the Wyong area. Therefore, preservation and enhancement of the existing environment is of paramount importance.


1.1 Definition of Bed and Breakfast Establishment
Bed and Breakfast Establishment means: "a single dwelling house containing a maximum of six (6) bedrooms, used by its permanent residents (owner/long term tenants) for the provision of short term or temporary paid accommodation for visitors (which may or may not include the provision of meals), but which does not include a building or place elsewhere specifically defined by Wyong Local Environmental Plan 1991."
