Gross bookings per Urangan listing averaged A$33,343 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Queensland average: A$51,864), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
The average Urangan listing brought in A$6,080 in December, its best month, and A$2,920 in May, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 32% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 2.9 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
These are monthly figures for listings active in each month. The annual average above also counts listings that operated for only part of the year, so it runs below twelve times these figures.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Urangan Airbnb took in A$33,343 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about A$1,670 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about A$2,770 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the A$4,720 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about A$2,070 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about A$1,440 a month.
These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.

Permits
None of the 88 active listings in Urangan display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.
Registration, permit, zoning and tourist-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the local authority before buying or listing in Urangan.
