Condition 5
5.    The approved accommodation units must be used for short term visitors only. The approved
      units must not be occupied by persons for the purpose of permanent accommodation.
The applicant seeks that this condition be deleted as they consider it is superfluous as the Decision
Notice clearly states the use is only for Visitor Accommodation Type 4 Conventional.
The original application was lodged under the Noosa Plan 2006 and Visitor Accommodation Type
4 Conventional is defined as follows:




While the condition may be seen as superfluous, given it is reflective of the approved use as stated
in the Decision Notice, experience suggests that owners/operators continue to confuse this issue
and offer properties for uses not permitted. It is therefore recommended that as the condition does
not propose any further restriction than the use definition, it be maintained upfront in the conditions
for clarity.
Development Approval Type & Condition 8
•     Development Permit for Material Change of Use of Premises (Visitor Accommodation Type
      4 Conventional)
