           b.    The proposed visitor accommodation is likely to detract from the amenity enjoyed
                 by residents.
     5.    There is no need for additional short term accommodation in the area.
B.   Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.

REPORT
A report on this application was considered by the Planning and Environment Committee Meeting
on 6 July 2021 and was subsequently referred to the General Committee Meeting on 12 July 2021.
During the course of discussions at the General Committee Meeting, Councillors considered that
there may be grounds to support the proposal given the 3 previous development approvals for short
term accommodation in the coastal area. Councillors in discussion though, also recognised that
short term accommodation was impacting the housing supply for permanent residents.
In the circumstances, the General Committee recommended the following:
A.     Request staff to prepare a further report for the Ordinary meeting dated 15 July 2021
       including conditions for approval of the application.
B.     Write to the Minister, State Development, Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning to
       request his agreement to make a Temporary Local Planning Instrument to make short-term
       accommodation an inconsistent use in the Medium Density Residential and High Density
       Residential zones, on the basis that further short-term accommodation is depleting housing
       supply for permanent residents and this poses a significant risk of serious adverse economic
       and social conditions in Noosa Shire, and the delay involved in amending the planning
       scheme would increase this risk.
C.     Note that Council at its Ordinary Meeting of 18 March 2021 resolved to “update the Noosa
       Council Housing Needs Assessment prepared by Briggs & Mortar Pty Ltd in 2017 with regard
       to the provisions of Noosa Plan 2020 and the local housing situation and trends” and that this
       review shall address the supply of housing for permanent residents, and the impact short
       term accommodation has on this supply and inform the assessment of future development
       applications for short term accommodation.
Staff have considered the issues raised by Councillors, but confirm the previous Officer
Recommendation. Should Council wish to approve the application, the requested motion below has
been drafted for that purpose.
