Resident households living in          On the other hand, if inadequate resident dwellings or types of
resorts                                dwellings (as currently occurs) are provided in Noosa Shire, an
                                       increasing number of permanent residents may seek
                                       accommodation in tourist resorts. At the present time it would
                                       appear that this balance is swinging toward these dwellings
                                       being used for tourist accommodation, and the modelling
                                       assumes that the Planning Scheme will be successful in at least
                                       partially addressing resident housing needs. Therefore three
                                       scenarios are developed to model the movement of permanent
                                       residents out of resort accommodation if it were to be used
                                       increasingly for tourist uses.


6.4.2      Future Dwelling Diversity Needs for Residents
Future housing diversity to meet assumed resident household needs have been modelled using
the household type projections undertaken by the Queensland Government (2016h) and
discussed in Section 6.3.2. These household type projections are provided for the following
household types:

          Couple family with children;
          Couple family without children;
          One parent family;
          Other family;
          Lone person households;
          Group households;
          Other households.

Household size is an important element determining dwelling preferences and therefore these
household type projections have been disaggregated25 to allow comparison of small households
(households that could live in a ‘small’ or one to two bedroom dwelling) and large households
(households that could live in a ‘large’ or three or more (‘3+’) bedroom dwelling) as below:

          Small Households
            o    Couple family with child - three people usually resident
            o    Couple family with no children
            o    Single parent family - two people usually resident
            o    Lone person household
            o    Group household - two people usually resident
          Large Households
            o    Couple family with children - 4+ people usually resident
            o    Single parent family - 3+ people usually resident
            o    All multi-family households
            o    Group household - 3+ people usually resident
