EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The proposal is for a Material Change of Use for Short Term Accommodation at 2a Woongar Street,
Boreen Point. This application seeks approval to use an existing two storey, five (5) bedroom
dwelling for short-term accommodation when the owners are not using it. No changes are proposed
to the dwelling and all parts of the site will be available for the proposed use. The applicant proposes
to cater for up to ten (10) guests onsite with the existing two car (under house) carport and driveway
available for guest parking.

The proposed use is generally consistent with the Noosa Plan 2020 requirements for short term
accommodation on Rural Residential zoned land and will support Noosa’s tourism industry in the
rural areas of the Shire. The existing dwelling house is expected to maintain the amenity of the area,
being well set back and screened from neighbouring properties. Conditions have been included to
manage amenity impacts. As such, the proposal is recommended for approval.

Short-term accommodation is an impact assessable use in the Rural Residential and Environmental
Management and Conservation zones in which the site is contained, and the proposal has been
assessed against the relevant codes and has been determined to comply with all outcomes. The
report recommends approval of the application as it is consistent with the provisions of the Noosa
Plan.
