5   CONCLUSION & REASONS FOR DECISION
The application seeks to use one of the dwelling units associated with a duplex development,
situated within the High Density Residential Zone, for the purpose of short-term accommodation.
Preservation of high density residential neighbourhoods for predominantly permanent residential
dwellings is a key priority of the planning scheme. The scheme also seeks to protect the amenity
of surrounding residential areas from the impacts of short-term accommodation.
Noting that short-term accommodation is a consistent use within the high density residential zone,
the subject site is located within an area that it is not predominantly home to permanent residents,
with many properties being used for visitor accommodation and/or properties permitted for visitor
accommodation and therefore does not comply with a number of provisions of Noosa Plan 2020.
There is no need for additional visitor accommodation in the area and the potential amenity impacts
resulting from the use of the subject site for the purpose of short term accommodation is likely to
further erode the residential amenity for permanent residents in the area. Accordingly, the
application is recommended for refusal.
