PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                               7 SEPTEMBER 2021


RECOMMENDATION
That Council note the report by the Development Planner to the Planning & Environment Committee
Meeting dated 7 September 2021 regarding Application No. MCU17/0563.02 & OPW17/0597.02 for
an Other Change to a Development Approval for a Material Change of Use for 2 x Multiple Housing
- Type 2 Duplex and Operational Works (Access, Stormwater, and landscaping) to include Short-
term accommodation situated at 30 & 32 The Cockleshell Noosaville and:
A.   Refuse the application for the following reasons:
     1.    The proposal is not consistent with 3.2.4 Housing to meet diverse needs of the
           community and 3.3.3 Housing Choice (n) of the Strategic Framework, as it will further
           erode the permanent housing in the area, impacting permanent resident amenity.
     2.    The proposal is not consistent with 6.3.2.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes (2)(a) and (h)
           of the Medium Density Residential Zone Code as:
           a.    The proposal is located in an area that it is not predominantly home to permanent
                 residents, with many properties being used for visitor accommodation and/or
                 properties permitted under historical development approvals for visitor
                 accommodation.
           b.    The proposal seeks to establish a new short-term visitor accommodation facility
                 within 2 recently approved dual occupancies and is not located within a well-
                 established resort or holiday units.
     3.    The proposal is not consistent with 7.2.4.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes (2)(t) and
           Performance Outcome PO21 of the Noosaville Local Plan Code as:
           a.    Additional visitor accommodation in the area is likely to result in detrimental
                 impacts on the residential amenity of permanent residents.
           b.    While the code seeks to maintain visitor accommodation in the area, it does not
                 seek to increase the extent of visitor accommodation within the area to the
                 detriment of permanent residents.
     4.    The proposal is not consistent with 9.3.5.2 Purpose and Overall Outcomes (1) and (2)(f)
           of the Visitor Accommodation Code as:
           a.    The proposed visitor accommodation is not appropriately located and integrated
                 with permanent residents in the area given the number and density of properties
                 currently being used for visitor accommodation and/or permitted for visitor
                 accommodation.
           b.    The proposed visitor accommodation is likely to detract from the amenity enjoyed
                 by residents.
     5.    There is no need for additional short term accommodation in the area.
B.   Note the report is provided in accordance with Section 63(5) of the Planning Act 2016.
