Development Application for Short Term Accommodation situated at 2A Woongar Street Boreen
Point, Lot 16 RP 112348.

From: Steve Jardine, 34 Woongar Street Boreen Point QLD 4565.

I would like to object to the proposed development application MCU23/0019 on the following
grounds.

•      The village of Boreen Point has seen a huge increase in Short Term Accommodation
       options in the past few years. Currently visitors have a wide variety of accommodation
       options that have a great deal of capacity. I do not believe that the village of Boreen Point
       needs any more options for STA. In section 7.2.1.3 of the Noosa Plan 2020,
       Performance outcomes for Hinterland Villages states that,
       “Development contributes to the lifestyle and amenity of residents of the Hinterland
       Villages and their surroundings” and
       “Development enhances the ability of the Hinterland Villages to function as small
       sustainable communities of permanent residents with a limited range of business,
       community and employment services that support the villages and broader rural areas,
       including visitors.
       I believe that this development will not enhance the ability of Boreen Point to function as
       a sustainable community or contribute to the lifestyle and amenity of residents.

Some of the STA options currently available to visitors include;
Boreen Point Campgrounds/ Caravan Park - This facility caters for campers, camper vans and
caravans, and caters for 100’s of guests.

Boreen Point Motel - This facility has 5 Units and a Beach House, up to 26 guests can be

9 registered Short Term Stay / Airbnb type options, these cater for over 55 guests.
10 registered hosted short term stay options, catering for over 30 guests.
Le Bateau Ivre guesthouse - This facility can host over 14 guests.

There are also a multitude of STA options in the Cootharaba, Pomona, Kin Kin, Tewantin,
Noosaville and Noosa areas.

Boreen Point also has a large number of private holiday houses that are sometimes occupied by
the owners. These properties are also frequently occupied by the owners friends or relatives or
rented privately when events such as sailing regattas are on.
