 Noosa Shire Planning Scheme
 Part 9 Development codes
 9.3 Use codes
 9.3.5 Visitor Accommodation Code

     Application
     This code applies to acceptable development which is subject to requirements and to assessable development identified as
     requiring assessment against the Visitor Accommodation code by the tables of assessment in Part 5 (Tables of
     assessment).

     Purpose and overall outcomes
     (1)   The purpose of the Visitor Accommodation code is to ensure visitor accommodation is appropriately located, designed
           and operated in a manner which meets visitor needs, protects and enhances landscape values, protects the amenity
           of surrounding premises and avoids conflicts with surrounding uses.
     (2)   The overall outcomes sought for the Visitor Accommodation Code are:
           (a)    Visitor accommodation is compatible with and benefits from Noosa Shire’s natural environmental values.
           (b)    Visitor accommodation offers a wide range of experiences for guests both in coastal areas and in the hinterland.
           (c)    Visitor accommodation is located and designed in a manner which sensitively responds to site characteristics.
           (d)    Visitor accommodation does not detrimentally impact upon the biodiversity and natural landscape values of its
                  setting.
           (e)    The density and design of visitor accommodation integrates with the urban or landscape fabric of its particular
                  locality.
           (f)    Visitor accommodation located near permanent residents does not detract from the amenity enjoyed by
                  residents.
           (g)    Visitor accommodation does not impact on the ability of rural land owners to carry out agricultural pursuits.
           (h)    Visitor accommodation provides high quality amenities and facilities commensurate with its setting, the types of
                  accommodation supplied and the length of stay accommodated.
           (i)    Visitor accommodation forms a key element of the local tourism industry.
           (j)    Visitor accommodation provides for a wide range of visitors.
     FOR ACCEPTED DEVELOPMENT
     The requirements for Acceptable Development are the acceptable outcomes listed in the Table of Assessment. Accepted
     development that complies with the acceptable solutions is considered to satisfy the requirements. If development complies
     with some, but not all, acceptable outcomes, an application for Code Assessment will be necessary and the application will be
     assessed against the relevant Performance Outcome(s).

     FOR ASSESSABLE DEVELOPMENT
     Acceptable outcomes are provided for some, but not all, performance outcomes, and identify ways in which performance
     outcomes can be met. Compliance with the performance outcome should be demonstrated and the acceptable outcomes are
     considered as one way to satisfy the corresponding performance outcome.
