               and walking infrastructure in Noosa Shire, in addition to external grant funding”
         2.    Under Future Projects on            page 39, delete the website link to
               yoursay.noosa.qld.gov.au and        replace with www.noosa.qld.gov.au/cycling-
               walking-strategy
    C.   On page 23 of the Plan, change Task 2.3 to read:
         2.3 Investigate opportunities to enhance or add end-of-trip facilities in key centres and
         tourist hubs. Implement a prioritised program for upgrading of existing public facilities (eg
         public toilets with showers) and the construction of new end-of-trip facilities, including
         electric charging stations and lockers as well as surfboard racks at designated beachside
         locations (with the latter being considered as a short term priority issue). Investigate
         opportunities to partner or incentivise private sector to develop end-of-trip facilities for
         their workforce at key locations.



6   MCU21/0046 – APPLICATION FOR A MATERIAL CHANGE OF USE – SHORT-TERM
    ACCOMMODATION AT 2 LOWRY ST, PEREGIAN BEACH
    That Council note the report by the Development Planner to the General Committee Meeting
    dated 12 July 2021 regarding Application No. MCU21/0046 for a Development Permit for
    Material Change of Use - Short-term Accommodation situated at 2 Lowry St Peregian Beach
    and:
    A.   Refuse the application in accordance with the following conditions:
         1.    The proposal is not consistent with 3.2.4 Housing to meet diverse needs of the
               community and 3.3.3 Housing Choice (n) of the Strategic Framework, as increased
               visitor accommodation is not sought or needed for the area and visitor
               accommodation will further erode the permanent housing in the area, impacting
               permanent resident amenity.
         2.    The proposal is not consistent with 7.2.6.2 Purpose and Overall Outcome (2)(o)
               and Performance Outcome PO1, PO2 & PO15 of the Coastal Communities Local
               Plan Code as:
               i.     The extent of visitor accommodation has started to erode the available
                      supply of permanent housing in the local plan area.
               ii.    The proposal seeks to establish a short-term accommodation in an area
                      which is predominantly permanent residential dwellings; and
               iii.   Additional visitor accommodation in the area is likely to result in detrimental
                      impacts on the residential neighbourhood and amenity of permanent
                      residents.
         3.    The proposal is not consistent with 9.3.5.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes (1) and
               (2)(f) of the Visitor Accommodation Code as:
               i.     The proposed visitor accommodation is not appropriately located in Peregian
                      Beach being in an area that is predominantly home to permanent residents
                      and consequently does not integrate well into the area.
               ii.    The proposed visitor accommodation is likely to detract from the amenity
                      enjoyed by residents given resident’s reasonable expectations for the area.

                                                                                    Page 15 of 47
