From 1 July 2017, travel expenses relating to a residential investment property are not deductible.
A residential premise (property) is land or a building that is:
occupied as a residence or for residential accommodation
intended to be occupied, and is capable of being occupied, as a residence or for residential accommodation.
Under the new legislation, you are no longer able to claim any deductions for the cost of travel you incur relating to your residential rental property unless you are carrying on a business of letting rental properties or are an excluded entity.
As with prior years, the travel expenditure cannot be included in the cost base for calculating your capital gain or capital loss when you sell the property.
