   Findings

   • Although not a specific action listed in the strategy, regulating and/or reducing the amount of short term accommodation in the Noosa Shire received a large
     amount of support.

   • The action that received the most support was different housing types, which was identified in 38 responses. However, there were also 6 responses that were
     not supportive of this action.

   • There was strong support for social and affordable housing to be near services and infrastructure including public transport, hospitals, education facilities and
     local business hubs.

   • In comments on the effectiveness of these actions, it was suggested that public transport should be improved before developing more housing choices as those
     most in need may not be able to afford the costs of running a private plated vehicle.
