9.3.5.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes
        (1)    The purpose of the Visitor Accommodation code is to ensure visitor accommodation
               is appropriately located, designed and operated in a manner which meets visitor
               needs, protects and enhances landscape values, protects the amenity of
               surrounding premises and avoids conflicts with surrounding uses.
        (2)    The overall outcomes sought for the Visitor Accommodation Code are:
               (a) Visitor accommodation is compatible with and benefits from Noosa Shire’s
                    natural environmental values.
               (b) Visitor accommodation offers a wide range of experiences for guests both in
                    coastal areas and in the hinterland.
               (c) Visitor accommodation is located and designed in a manner which sensitively
                    responds to site characteristics.
               (d) Visitor accommodation does not detrimentally impact upon the biodiversity
                    and natural landscape values of its setting.
               (e) The density and design of visitor accommodation integrates with the urban or
                    landscape fabric of its particular locality.
               (f)  Visitor accommodation located near permanent residents does not detract
                    from the amenity enjoyed by residents.
               (g) Visitor accommodation does not impact on the ability of rural land owners to
                    carry out agricultural pursuits.
               (h) Visitor accommodation provides high quality amenities and facilities
                    commensurate with its setting, the types of accommodation supplied and the
                    length of stay accommodated.
               (i)  Visitor accommodation forms a key element of the local tourism industry.
