Strategic Framework
The Noosa Plan 2020 includes Strategic Outcomes which seek to protect neighbourhoods of
permanent housing from short-term visitor accommodation that would impact on the amenity enjoyed
by residents. The planning scheme also seeks to protect areas for visitor accommodation with a
range of accommodation styles envisaged to support the local tourism industry.
The subject site is not located in a designated visitor accommodation area being zoned Medium
Density Residential. The area is also dominated by sites developed for multiple dwelling units and
duplex dwellings that have been typically predominantly used for visitor accommodation, particularly
those properties in proximity to the Noosa River and Gympie Terrace. Properties setback further
from Noosa River and Gympie Terrace have been mostly used by permanent residents.
Code Provisions
The subject site is located in the Noosaville Local Plan Area and is zoned Medium Density
Residential. The proposed use is identified as a consistent use with the zone and is required to follow
an impact assessable application process.
