PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                                    11 APRIL 2017

                                                                                       Foresight
                                                                                           partnerspetyttd

                 2.1     Noosa Council Zoning
                 Classification of residential zoning under Noosa Council’s strategic framework is based
                 upon density and the intended function of a dwelling. Under The Noosa Plan 2013,
                 residential zoning may fall under one of the following classifications being Detached
                 Housing,  Semi-attached Housing, Attached Housing,       Visitor Mixed Use or Rural
                 Settlement’.
                 Under the current planning scheme, tourism accommodation along Beach Road in Noosa
                 North Shore is classified as Visitor Mixed Use, which permits the integration of business
                 functions with medium density residential development. This zoning classification extends
                 only to the boundaries of Beach Road Holiday Homes and the Noosa North Shore Retreat
                 complex with surrounding bushland reserved for Open Space Conservation land. The
                 remaining land forming the Noosa North Shore locality is a mixture of Detached Housing,
                 Community Services, Rural Settlement and Open Space Recreation zoning.
                 Under the Visitor Mixed Use zone, permitted residential land use is limited to Visitor
                 Accommodation and covers the following types of dwellings:
                    e   Type 1 Home hosted: Detached houses where the resident family hosts no more
                        than six guests for a short-term stay, with meals provided by the hosts and at least
                        one bedroom excluded from use by the visitors;

                    e   Type 2 Caravan Park: Provision of short-term accommodation for recreational
                        vehicles, self-contained cabins, tents and similar structures along with other
                        buildings for the management of property facilities and recreational activities;

                    e   Type 3 Rural: Short-term accommodation including cabin parks, guesthouses and
                        retreats which directly relate to the rural production, environmental or scenic values
                        provided by the premise; and

                    e   Type 4 Conventional: Provision of short-term visitor accommodation within a
                        complex of two or more dwelling units, including guest housing, hostels, motels,
                        resorts and serviced rooms. These premises may also contain buildings and
                        facilities for property management, recreational purposes and guest dining services.
                 The Beach Road Holiday Homes presumably fall within the Type 4 Conventional category.

                 1 Rural Visitor Accommodation Permitted in the form of “domestic, home-hosted forms and in larger
                 guesthouses or cabin parks” in addition to overnight camping within the more rural parts of the Shire.
