                 TWO GLAMPING TENTS
                         Accepted development subject to requirements (no planning approval required)
                 1.      It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure the development meets the use definition
                         of Nature Based Tourism (provided below).
                 2.      It was discussed that if 2 glamping tents were proposed as Nature Based Tourism, the
                         development may be ‘Accepted Development subject to requirements’ providing the
                         proposal meets the provisions in Table 5.5.13 and the relevant identified (in the Table)
                         Acceptable Outcomes in the Rural Zone Code and the Visitor Accommodation Code.
                 3.      It should be noted that the 2 glamping tents are required to be outside of any of the
                         Overlays that affect the site otherwise a Code Assessment application is required.
                 4.      Infrastructure Charges will apply to the 2 tents if a Building Permit is applicable.
                 IF NATURE BASED TOURISM (whole proposed development excluding RV parking (as
                 discussed in the meeting and see Item 10 below)
                         Impact Assessment - public notification required
                 5.      As part of any application, it would need to be demonstrated the development meets the
                         Nature Based Tourism definition outlined in The Noosa Plan 2020 and compliance with
                         the relevant codes including but not limited to the Sustainable building design code and
                         AO20.1 – AO20.13 of the Visitor Accommodation Code.
                 6.      The proposal triggers an Impact Assessment application process because more than 4
                         cabins or 6 tents are proposed. If the proposal is only for 4 cabins or only 6 tents, a Code
                         Assessment application would be required to Council (no public notification required)
                 7.      The development could be staged. However, if not staged and should a code
                         assessment approval be issued for 4 cabins or 6 tents and in the future more cabins or
                         tents are proposed, an impact assessment application would be required as the total
                         quantity of accommodation exceeds that required for code assessment (max. 4 cabins
                         or 6 tents).
                 8.      It was discussed if 1 or 2 glamping tents on skids could be occasionally located in the
                         riparian buffer. A detailed assessment is required (as part of the application) for this
                         request but it may be considered if an area within the riparian buffer is proposed to be
                         regenerated.
                 9.      Any application to Council should include dimensioned and to scale plan/s clearly
                         detailing floor layout of the cabins and the amenities and BBQ.
                 10.     The self-contained RV’s are proposed within the riparian buffer are unlikely to be
                         supported. In addition, the RV’s would change the use type to a Tourist Park
                         (development viewed as a whole) and would then be an inconsistent use in the Rural
                         zone (because of built structures see Table 5.5.13 for Tourist Accommodation).
                 11.     The proposal should be located outside of all Overlays.
                 IF SHORT TERM ACCOMMODATION (whole proposed development excluding RV parking
                 as discussed in the meeting and see item 10 above)
                         Impact Assessment - public notification required
                 12.     Generally similar comments to the Nature Based Tourism excluding the Nature Based
                         Tourism provisions in the Visitor Accommodation Code.
