RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Coordinator Planning to the Planning & Environment Committee
Meeting dated 6 July 2021 and the Further Report to the Ordinary Meeting dated 15 July 2021
regarding Application No. MCU15/0069.01 for an Other Change to a Development Approval for a
Material Change of Use for Multiple Housing - Type 2 Duplex situated at 1/39 Duke Street, Sunshine
Beach, and:
A.   Refuse the application for the following reasons:
     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 it will further
           erode the dwelling units available for permanent housing in the area, impacting
           permanent resident amenity.
           a.     The proposal is not consistent with 7.2.6.2 Purpose and Overall Outcome (2)(v)(iii)
                  of the Coastal Communities Local Plan Code as:
           b.     Additional visitor accommodation in the area is likely to result in detrimental
                  impacts on the residential amenity of permanent residents.
           c.     The proposal is located on a site which is not identified for tourist accommodation
                  and given the extent of visitor accommodation in the area zoned High Density
                  Residential will impact on the availability of multi units for permanent residents.
     2.    The proposal is not consistent with 6.3.2.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes (2)(a) and (j)
           of the High Density Residential Zone Code as:
           a.     The proposal is located in an area that is not predominantly home to permanent
                  residents, with many properties being used for visitor accommodation and/or
                  properties permitted for visitor accommodation and the proposal will erode the
                  availability of dwelling units for permanent residents.
           b.     The proposal seeks to establish a new short-term visitor accommodation facility
                  within a recently approved dual occupancy, and is not located within a well-
                  established resort or holiday units.
     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:
           a.     The proposed visitor accommodation is likely to detract from the amenity enjoyed
                  by residents given resident’s reasonable expectations for the area.
     4.    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.
