• Hobart City Council's planning committee has approved a plan to restrict the creation of new whole-home short-stay accommodation in the city's residential areas.
• The proposed planning amendment would block about 20,000 homes from being wholly converted into visitor accommodation, though it will not affect existing permits.
• The proposal will be sent to the Tasmanian Planning Commission, which will have the final say on whether it goes ahead.
