Rules vary across Cardinia Reservoir. These appear to be small towns/localities in Victoria, Australia (Shire of Cardinia/Yarra Ranges), where STR regulations are typically set at the state/council level rather than individual town level. For accurate information, I'd need to research the specific local council regulations (likely Cardinia Shire Council or Yarra Ranges Council) and their current enforcement practices, which I cannot verify without access to current local government sources. Verify requirements for the property's jurisdiction.
